What a wonderful thing it is that she is spending her first Easter in heaven, getting to see her Lord and hearing, “Well done thou good and faithful servant.” She is also being reunited with her son who passed a couple of years back. Sandy loved the Lord and served in her church and went on mission trips with the BGEA (Billy Graham Evangelistic Association). Laura Neal said, “She gave till her body couldn’t give any more.” She had a big heart and shared her faith with anyone and everyone. What a legacy this awesome lady has left behind. I (Lisa) only wish I had known her better. The time I did meet her she left an indelible impression on me. After this weekend I got to see that she probably never met anyone that she didn’t leave an indelible impression on. She was well known in her home town. And as I’m seeing she was a proper “Lady”. She taught her daughter in law how to be a proper lady. What a legacy because there are two granddaughters who are also being taught how to be proper ladies as a result. This wasn’t the end for Sandy Neal though. Only the beginning. And one day we will see her again. Heaven is our home and we are just travelers here on this earth serving the Lord until He returns or we go to be with Him like Sandy did. What a joy it is to know our future home is even better than anything we can imagine in our wildest dreams. It’s better than the best we’ve ever experienced here on earth. How wonderful it is that we have that to look forward to.
Thank you God for your love and kindness and mercy on us. Thank you that our future home is with you. Thank you for sending your son to prepare a place for us. Thank you that this weekend especially we get to celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I can’t put it any better than Dolly Parton does in this song,
