In Memory of a Godly Man-George Stanley VanDyke

On December 28, 2010, George Stanley Vandyke, my grandfather, went home to be with the Lord Jesus Christ at the age of 89.
Besides my parents, my grandfather has a lot to do with who I am today.  He was a godly man who always trusted in Christ and always encouraged me to keep trusting the Lord regardless of any situation.  He was a man of prayer, who I knew prayed for me and my family every night. Grandpa was a man who loved to sing about Christ and the joy that awaits all Christians in heaven. 

Although I will miss Grandpa, I know that one day I will see him in heaven. 

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13  But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.
14  For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
15  For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16  For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
17  Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
18  Therefore encourage one another with these words.
