Great is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness are not just words to say.
Great is Thy faithfulness is Truth!
We have lived it.
We have experienced it!

God is loving and faithful to all His promises.

There is much I want to share here in this place about God’s faithfulness to us in the days surrounding Dad’s entrance into Glory. I think it will need to be in bits and pieces to make it doable. We are still trying to wrap our minds around it all, feeling much comfort in the love you have shown us and still there is a sadness because we miss him so. And that’s okay.

Dad’s Celebration of Life was a beautiful day… cold, but beautiful. Dad was honored and God was exalted. Here is the slideshow that we began the service with. Dad had something to share with us… it is his voice you will hear.

Taking a few days away to rest. Then I will be back to share more. Until then ”keep on keeping on”!

there is celebration going on!

It is indeed with great joy and much sadness that I tell you that at 4pm today, Dad was ushered by angels into the presence of Jesus, who said, “well, done my good and faithful servant!”. He is enjoying the best New Years Eve Celebration ever!

We are overwhelmed by the grace and too many gifts to count that God poured out on us during this past week. Once I get some sleep I will be sure to share with you the beautiful details, because they were a result of your faithful prayers on our behalf. We will never be able to say thank adequately.

Now to Him who can do exceedingly more than we could ever ask or think, to Him be the glory both now and forever more!

the gift of laughter

As we wait we look for the gifts of these days.

One big gift is your words of encouragement. Mom was finally able to read through more of your FaceBook and blog comments this morning.

Reading through Dad’s bible is also one of those gifts. Those of you who knew Dad, know that he was one funny guy. He always had a funny story or joke to tell. He loved to laugh.

I found these verses and notes yesterday in his bible…

And then we got these videos from the kids.
Dad would have loved it… the perfect sermon illustration.

sorry i do not know how to rotate it.
