I Can Only Imagine....Part 2

This week we lost another much loved family member, my Uncle Will.  I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some time with him in the days before his passing and actually prayed with him the last time I had seen him.

Now, I firmly believe the reason God kept him here on this earth for so long (he was 91!) was because He was waiting for Uncle Will to reconcile his heart to the Lord. Our God is so faithful, that even a life that seems difficult, has meaning to Him, and His eternal plan is for good.   Many a time in the years past my Mom had shared the Gospel with Uncle Will, and those seeds she was planting were sure to some day take root and blossom.

If you have followed my posts in the past, you would have seen the one God visit from Jan 16th, where God gave me the song "I Can Only Imagine" to reassure and comfort of my Mom's dancing with Jesus shortly after she went home to be with Him.  And once again, God has used this song to comfort and strengthen my heart. He truly is compassionate and faithful.

I was grocery shopping yesterday morning, and I was asking the Lord, "please Father, give me something, a sign that You have worked in Uncle Will's heart, and that he is safe and at rest with You."  I told the Lord I would trust Him regardless, but I really would appreciate something.  Well, my loving, patient heavenly Father honored me with a sign.  Right after I asked this, I got into the car, turned on the radio, and you guessed it....."I Can Only Imagine" was playing on the radio!!   I was so blown away, so comforted.  God is so faithful.  And to top it off I actually heard the song again later on the same day !!  I haven't heard this song since I last posted on it during the time of my Mom's passing.

Thank You.  I am so grateful.  You are so good.
