The Author by Grandson Tom Thompson
Written about Grandmother; Nona Freeman
December 28, 2009
The Author takes up His pen and puts it to paper. He has written many stories, composed many lines for He is the Master Storyteller. He doesn't use normal paper, nor a traditional pen. He uses human lives for his medium and trials, joys, emotional valleys, spiritual mountain tops and daily situations as his quill. He is, after all, the author of life, as well as the Author of salvation. He wrote the story of Nona Freeman, just as he writes the story of everyone's life. All of the situations, every happening, every circumstance culminated in the person that was Nona Freeman. The Author can take any life and write a story of superlative beauty, if that life is willing to be edited by Him.
Those of us who have read books of Nona Freeman, heard her speak, or been touched by her in person, know what a unique life she lived. Her life was an example of service to Jesus Christ and her fellow man. All that she was came through clearly in her preaching, in her writing, and in her daily life; she was every whit a child of God. She will be greatly missed.
Now the Author has laid down his pen, His writing is complete, and the tome that is Nona Freeman is finished. I can see on the last page of the story that is her life, two words written with deft strokes, with lines broad and narrow, the swirling marks of a master scribe. The post script that all God's children receive when this earthly story is ended. The two words from which we that remain garner so much comfort....
