I really enjoyed the poem too (so much...Beautiful! I really enjoyed the poem too (so much so that I borrowed it from you for my own post today).<BR/><BR/>Though I haven't always enjoyed my own waiting times, I can now look back fondly on them to see how amazing was God in and through those times. Isn't hindsight wonderful?<BR/><BR/>KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832860740344359320.post-19928293644778749662008-07-03T02:21:00.000-04:002008-07-03T02:21:00.000-04:00Van,For our good friend the wait is over. I though...Van,<BR/>For our good friend the wait is over. I thought you would want to read what Tom wrote about "his bride of 47 years".<BR/>Nancy<BR/><BR/>Carol Update 26<BR/> <BR/>Carol, “Our Song of Joy” has gone home to her Lord. She left in wonderful peace. All the children and I were by her side. Almost to our amazement, a powerful sense of joy for Carol came over us and we were drawn immediately to reading the following:<BR/> <BR/>I Thessalonians 4: 13-14<BR/> <BR/>And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.<BR/> <BR/>NLT 2nd Ed.<BR/> <BR/>We know that Carol has felt the loving arms of her Savior and that Kenneth, the child we lost between Mark and Dan, was there to greet her with a, “Hello, Mom.”<BR/> <BR/>A Memorial Service is planned for July 8th; visitation from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., the service at 5:30. In lieu of flowers, you are asked to make checks simply to: “HCC” with “Humanitarian aid, Sudan” in the memo.<BR/> <BR/>For the moment, I am greatly comforted and focused on plans for the Memorial Service. I am sure that in quiet moments, I will experience a great sense of loss. Carol managed to bless us even in the last days before her passing in unexpected ways. The children are also great comfort and our church family continues to love our family in many tangible ways. We/I am blessed.<BR/> <BR/>In Christ’s love,<BR/> <BR/>TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
