Last weekend we took the grandkids to the graveside and met up with about 40 relatives and friends from the Bend area. It was a beautiful, sunny day. It's hard to grieve about her body being in the ground, since she's really with Jesus right now. But the tears did flow at the realization the only thing we were missing over the weekend was her. She would have enjoyed being with the family and directing meals and grandkids.
Stories were shared and we realized, even more, that the youngest ones may have little to no memory of the grandma who always gave them snacks, signed and dated every book she gave them and loved to work in her garden.
So I am going to ask you to do something for us. We are going to make a book for the grandkids – filled with stories from Delight’s friends. The kids don't know the Delight who prayed with people, the Delight who welcomed people into her home (for a meal or for a few months) or the Delight who spoke words of encouragement, deliverance and direction into peoples lives.
Would you take a moment to tell us one of your favorite Delight stories?
You can email them back to Jennifer at djnkpete@gmail.com
Some of you have asked where to give in lieu of flowers. There are two places close to Delight’s heart : International House of Prayer-NW and Glory of Zion. I have included a small blurb about both organizations with a link to their giving page. Make sure you put "in memory of Delight Petersen".
The mission of International House of Prayer Northwest is to establish night and day intercessory worship for the return of Jesus in preparation of establishing His Kingdom on the earth. International House of Prayer Northwest will train and mobilize worshiping intercessors that operate in the forerunner spirit as end-time prophetic messengers.

We are called to help you achieve the fullness of your destiny in God. Our name signifies our call...
1. To see the VISITATION of God in our city and nation. We are a church with a call to seek revival. We desire to see the GLORY of God manifested in our midst through signs & wonders, resulting in the fullness of harvest coming into the kingdom! (Psalm 85:6-13)
2. To see the Church RESTORED to its true foundation. The blossoming of the fig tree (Israel) through the restored Messianic movement signals a call to the church to return to its true roots and be re-established on its New Testament apostolic-prophetic foundation. (Eph. 2:20; 3:5-6)
