Grandma Bun-nam Choi

When we greet each other and shake hands after the Easter Sunday worship service,

I approached Grandma Bun-nam Choi, who is over 80 years old, and was about to say hello to her.

Looking at my face, Grandma Choi smiled brightly and said, 'I don't know when the Lord is going to call me.'

I still remember.

Grandma Choi’s husband passed away a long time ago, and two of her six children also died.

But his body was cold, and she found out that her son was dead.  So she wept bitterly.

After her son’s funeral service, Grandma Choi came to me and said, ‘I feel resentment at God.’

I can't imagine the heart of Grandma Choi who sent three of her six children first.

But after Easter Sunday worship,

I am happy to think of Grandma Choi's smile, who wants to go to heaven.
