I haven't been on site in a while but I wish to thank all who have prayed for our family during the illness of my brother.
It is with a heavy heart that I must report the death of my brother on the 16th of September, 2017. His funeral is today Sept 18th, 2017, on the 33rd anniversary of our mother's death. Sept. is not a good month for me. Just remember "God is good and His plan is perfect. Thou we can't see the big picture, His plan is perfect".

I am so, so sorry Maxine. Your sadness may feel overwhelming today as it is a dark day for your family. Only by faith are we able to march through these times with the knowledge that our Lord and Savior went before us and prepared a place for us. I'm lifting you in prayer as you begin to figure out what life will be like without your precious sibling. Praise God that we can be together again some sweet day.

255049Praying you are being surrounded by God's love and the love of family and friends during this most difficult time. God's plan will be revealed one day. He works in mysterious ways. My father passed away about 3 years ago. He suffered from Dementia and his body failed. We could not understand why he kept hanging on but finally God took him home. When we returned home after the funeral, we started going through the mail. In that mail, we found a beautiful topaz ring that my Dad had ordered for my Mom sometime during one of his lucid moments unbeknownst to any of us! Usually he had me get things for my Mom from him, but he was able to do this on his own. It is of great comfort to Mom. We call it a God moment as He orchestrated Dad's death to coincide with the rings arrival. Praying you feel God's comforting arms.
14637(((Hugs))) I am so sorry for the losses that you seem to have in September, losses are not easy any time of the year, but when those losses tend to be grouped, it can make it challenging. I am grateful you have faith to help ease the grief and I can surely testify that His plan will make total sense once we are on the other side. Just keep the faith and do the best you can to live the way that Christ gave us in His mortal ministry, the example of and helping those around us, uplifting the poor, weak, widow, orphan, those struggling, etc and most important is to not give up. Feeding His sheep is a way we can draw closer to Him. That enduring, is ....or at least for me ....can be the harder part, enduring it well, when trials are difficult or long term. He knows and understands the difficult trials of this life and will be there to hear every prayer. My prayers will continue for all you are dealing with today and in coming months as you adjust to your brother not being here in your life to turn to. (((Hugs again))) Pam
