This Veterans Day my husband and I drove out to the cemetery where my great-grandparents and grandparents are buried.  My grandfather, an experienced logger, served as a private in the United States Army during World War 1 felling trees for the production of airplanes.  It was an honorable service that thankfully kept him out of the trenches in Europe.  His only son, my dad, did serve in World War 2 and his grandsons served during the Vietnam War.  Grandpa experienced great tragedy as well as great joy during his lifetime; and as I walked the hill where his body is buried and thought about his life, I knew once again the faithfulness of our God from generation to generation.  The same God that walked with him also walks with me.  

I'm going to love seeing him again.
