Community of Grace

Both at the memorial service, which was attended by over 500 people, and since then the Mulligan family has experienced God's grace in the form of the body of believers. The community of our local body (Crossway Community Church) and believers literally around the world have poured out their thoughts, well wishes, support, and prayers. 

We have received kind words, cards, flowers, and hundreds of chats, likes, posts, and other forms of electronic encouragement. Some are just a few words, others are moving remembrances of Jenny's life and  impact that she had on their lives.

The outpouring has been meaningful, moving, and has allowed us to further appreciate the lives that were touched by Jenny and the far reaching impact that those encounters produced.

We are doing well, God's grace is sufficient for each day for us, as it is for each of you!

The ultimate outpouring of grace

Jenny is now experiencing the grace that surpasses all others, she is seeing her savior face-to-face. What was only able to be viewed dimly is now being experienced in it's full glory. The grace that we have enjoyed throughout this journey is now being fully expressed in being able to enter the everlasting kingdom of our heaven father without spot or blemish because of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross on our behalf. She is robed in his righteousness and she is worshiping like she never has before!

We will be celebrating Jenny's life which was full of grace and lived for God's glory this Sunday at Crossway Community Church in Charlotte NC at 2:00pm.
  

An eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison

Jenny has spent the last 36 hours or so in bed, in a semi-awake state, as I observe her sleeping, in a state of transition from being on this earth to going to her eternal home, I wonder what she is experiencing. The sentiments expressed by Paul in his letter to the Corinthians come to mind.

"So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."

I am hoping that she is starting to get visions of the unseen, eternal things. She seems at peace, opening her eyes every once in a while, then she slips back into slumber. She has run the race well, preparing for that weight of glory...

Thank you all for your prayers and support.
