Prayer for grandmothers

Father, at my age the losses are not pretend. The career is gone. The house we raised the kids in is gone. The husband is gone. The strong body is going. None of these were nothing. They were good gifts. But what I have gained in Christ is greater than all of it. Lord Jesus, the years with Walter were sweet. The years walking with You are sweeter still. The home we made was warm. The home You are preparing is warmer still. The strong body served me well. The resurrection body will serve me better. The losses are real. But You are more real. Walk me through this Sunday with that truth in mind, and let the loss be carried lightly. Amen.
