Dad, finally put to rest.
Yesterday, we put my father to rest. For me, I felt like he was at rest, the moment he passed, from this life to the next.
Culturally, back here, it is a big deal to look at the Shell of a body and find finality with the person’s death.
I don’t get it so much, but respect it. Definitely, the burial does make a lasting impression that he is gone.
Anyway, he joins quite a few family members, who leave a legacy of loving God and loving and serving people.
I will miss you Dad, in physical form, but your legacy and spirit will live FOREVER!
With Love

God had plans for me?
What a comfort to know that the God of this universe, has plans for one like me!
Me, an accident? I don’t think so.
My father went to be with the creator of all things on 10-10-18. What a new home, he has found. Someday, I will get to join him, when my time has come, and he takes me home. It will be a great reunion with Dad and Mom and many relatives who have gone before them.
Gut check….Do we reflect to our fellow Christians, this belief and hope in Our daily lives? Just as important, do we display that through our actions, to a lost and fallen world?
and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:8-9 NASB
Bible says, Pick your Friends Wisely!
A man of too many friends comes to ruin, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.18.24.NASB
Jesus, who is the author and perfector of our faith (HEB 12), also calls US his friends.
Ministry may not be Glamorous at times, but know this…….. God sees every act of love we have shown to others, in his name. Is that not all the motivation we need?
For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.
Hebrews 6:10 NASB
Our hope is in a great king (Jesus), who shows great mercy to his followers.
This worlds government can never save us! We put out faith and trust in one who will build a Holy Nation, that will last for all of eternity. His kingdom will never end (Is 9: 6-7).
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1 Peter 1:3 NASB
Imagine…..God wants to hear from you! Not just in “your” time of need, but lifting up your brothers and sisters in Christ, as well
