Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Thank you Lord, that we are wonderfully known by you. May we use this for good, to allow us to be changed by you. May we not withdraw from you, as we see our own sinfulness, but embrace your truth, that we are whole, by putting our faith and trust in Jesus. Amen!
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.
Psalms 139:23-24 NASB
Lord, may our hearts be stirred up, knowing you have our backs, and you care deeply about us. We are your workmanship, created for good works, that we might give you glory.
Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
Galatians 6:9 NASB
Jesus shines a light on the powers of dark and evil. They cannot overcome his work. His brightness shines through the darkness and he does overcome the darkness.
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
John 1:5 NASB
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

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.
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

Jesus, who is the author and perfector of our faith (HEB 12), also calls US his friends.
Who can reconcile the vast expanse of holiness, between God and ALL of Mankind?
For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.
1 Timothy 2:5-6 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/1ti.2.5-6.NASB
What can we do? Nothing, but recognize the unfathomable gift of love, and fall at his feet and worship him.
Want to be set free from the power of sin and death?
Put your trust and faith in Jesus, who has overcome all that is wrong in this world, and he will give you, life eternal.
and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
John 8:32 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,
