Postby Marcella » Wed Apr 28, 2010 9:42 pm

Please keep us in your prayers. Carl's stepfather passed away yesteday. We were able to get 7 of the 8 kids and one grandchild there before his passing. He was not a navy veteran but a veteran! We are working on getting the family together for the funeral on Fri.

Often "True Peace" comes for the individual at the expense of those left behind. Seek comfort in the Lord, you will all be in our prayers.

Many Prayers for Carl, you and the family,
Words can sound very hollow in times of grief and sorrow.
My prayer is that through faith you may find comfort in these words:
Mat 5:4
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
These words almost come across as an oxymoron or contradiction. Yet the majority of commentators point out that the emphasis here is on the word “shall.”
Here the character of the mourner is exhibited, the honest mourner is “blessed” and the Grace of God sends a miraculous comfort that is unexplainable.
Many may even have seen the unrepentant, through much wailing and a flood of tears leave us unmoved.
But the “blessed” mourner, the truly sorrowful draw out our compassion and the compassion of God to “comfort” them. (a truly broken heart is difficult to fake.)
“he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, . .” Luke 4:18
Peace my friends,

Thank you all! We are doing well. In fact this ordeal has helped to heal some breaches amongst the family. God does work in His own time and ways! He sent the perfect preacher our way as our regular preacher was on vacation. We had 50 family members stay for lunch at the church and some we hadn't seen in years. It was sad, but at least Pop is no longer suffering and that is the greatest grace and blessing that was received.
