The Schreck clan at Grandpa's Memorial Service.
It was a great weekend with family celebrating Grandpa's life. Almost every grandkid was there (we were missing my sister Jessica, and my cousin Josh's wife, Allison) and all the aunts and uncles. It was a blessing for my grandma for all of us to be there.
My grandpa told lots of people that he was ready to go home, and he had his passport stamped and bags packed, ready to go.
Over and over it was stated that my grandpa is finally home and I kept thinking of a new song by Carrie Underwood called "Temporary Home." The following is the last verse of the song.
~Temporary Home~
Old man, hospital bed
The room is filled with people he loves
And he whispers don't cry for me
I'll see you all someday
He looks up and says "I can see God's face."
"This is my temporary Home
It's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
This was just a stop,on the way To where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know this was
My temporary home."
My grandpa will see all us again someday!! Until then, he is having a blast praising his Lord and Savior!!
I really like that, and don't know that I've heard it before! I also was thinking of that song by Matthew West, Save a Place for me
