IS IT WORTH IT?

Forty five years ago, almost to the day, my dear Grandmother Bouterse went home to be with her Lord, whom she so adored! How excited she must be in Heaven, with her mother and her children, worshipping her Savior.....
The day before she died, my Mother had me come into the room where she was sleeping at our house.She hadn't moved her facial muscles in several days and most everyone felt as if she wouldn't last through the night. I went in to her, and took hold of her hand and said:"I'm here Grandmama, and I just want to tell you goodbye, and that I will see you again." I think she was waiting for me to come say goodbye, because her whole face just lit up into the biggest smile, and she squeezed my hand.That was the last time I saw Grandmother Bouterse, but just like Jesus grieved over the death of Lazarus, He could also rejoice in knowing that He would see him again in Heaven....
I can rejoice in that fact too! Grandmother knew who I was alright, and the gift she gave me,growing up, far outways anything I have ever gotten!
Her gift of telling me about a Savior who died upon a cross, so that I could be right with God, and spend an Eternity with Him.....(and her!)
Now ask yourself,was it worth it?
