Watching my Mom and Mother-in-law die with dignity and grace, these last verses of chapter one of Philippians are very poignant to me.
My hope is that Christ is exalted by my body, whether in death or life. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. I do no know which to choose. But am torn between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
But it is more needful for you that I remain and continue with you for your progress and joy in faith...... Whatever happens, conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the Good News of Christ.
God looked at these special ladies and said, "Your work here is done, come home to your reward"
