Many of you know that recently my father passed out of this world. I have been trying to put up a video that was shown at his funeral celebration. The video includes family pictures throughout the years. I have been unable to accomplish this due to either lack of technical skill or a lock on the DVD I’m trying to load. No matter. My point is that this poem from Deborah Ann explains why I have been given a peace that passes all understanding during this time. I will see my father again and will get to spend as much time as I like with him.
I once thought,
I could do it alone
but, then I invited Jesus
to come into my home.
Now He resides,
inside of these walls
He’s always around
when His name I call.
His very presence,
gives me such peace
for, on Him my worries
I am free to release.
He brings me comfort,
just knowing He’s here
He fills my heart and soul
with joy and good cheer.
I once thought,
I’d be left on my own
but since I found Jesus
I am never alone!

Sorry to hear the passing of your father Chris.
Thanks, Pastor Jim. I am comforted by the fact that he believed in Jesus as his Lord and Savior. He believed in the resurrection and that we are saved by grace alone. The church that he brought us up in taught these simple yet wonderful truths and I am forever indebted to him for being a wonderful Christian example. I hope I do as well.
