Today a very special man went to be with His Lord. Here is his story that I witnessed... About 2 years ago one of the senior ladies from church asked my husband (her associate pastor) and me to her home for dinner. She wanted us to meet a man in her life and make sure he was right with God. They were already talking marriage. That is not the proper order of things, but that is what it was. We arrived to find a very kind man who was brought up Catholic. He was a believer of Christ, but did not really understand much else. We talked to him and in the end he wanted to seal his relationship with Jesus. We all wound up crying. My husband baptised him. My husband presided
at their wedding. They have been married for two years. He succumbed to cancer this morning. I saw him Saturday. He was in and out of consciousness. He did recognize me and smile and even kissed me. :-) I loved this man. From this side of heaven it hurts to lose him. From the other side of heaven he was ready to meet his Jesus. I am full of joy for him. So this is the verse I picked today for me and for my dear friend in Jesus' arms, Tom...
Then when they were alone, He turned to the disciples and said, "How privileged you are to see what you have seen."
No further comment on my part needed. Good bye, my friend. See you on the other side!
