Going Home

The song by MercyMe "I Can Only Imagine" has been playing through my head since Monday when I first heard the news about Jeanette and her family. 

I can only imagine 

What it will be like 

When I walk 

By your side 

I can only imagine 

What my eyes will see 

When your face 

Is before me 

I can only imagine

I can only imagine 

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel 

Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still 

Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall 

Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all 

I can only imagine

I can only imagine 

I can only imagine 

When that day comes 

And I find myself 

Standing in the Son 

I can only imagine 

When all I will do 

Is forever 

Forever worship You 

I can only imagine

I can only imagine

Today, Jeanette went home to be with her son, Matthew. I wondered earlier how her life would go on without her son.  Perhaps it was her time to go and be with her son. Now I can only imagine how her son on earth and husband will go on without her. She was truly a light to others. She was full of life and joy, an example of the person I would like to be. Jeanette, you will be sorely missed.
