When Sunday Comes The saying goes, “I had a praying grandmother” No, we really had a praying grandmother! You were one who stayed true to the word you preached. By displaying what it means when the Bible declares, Early will I seek Thee. Calling out your loved ones name by name, one by one. Never rising to say amen until your work was done. Just like every morning you would rise before dawn to boldly approach the throne. Nothing changed when YOUR Sunday morning had come. We believe in our hearts you whispered our names one more time, Only for God to say, “Janie, come let me answer your prayers. They’ll be fine.” Such blessed assurance from Heaven on high. To know that YOUR hello to The Father was not OUR goodbye, instead it was your way of saying come see about me. I can’t come to you but you can come to me and Grandma, we will. Whatever it takes to get closer to you and our Lord, Whatever it takes for our will to break, that’s what we’ll be willing to do. So when Sunday morning comes for us we’ll be heading to church to worship with you! Respectfully, Rain D. Williams
