A Sad Day...with hope for eternity...

Today was a sad day for us at church. The focus was on worship and Heaven, but all of us were thinking and praying for Bob, Tresa and the children. One of their children is in my Bible class, and we talked about the resurrection of Christ in class. We talked a lot about eternal life. We hope that our lesson was comforting to our little friend. The children were all talking and praying about Bob in Prayer Circles too. Little Brennan Schwamb asked us to pray for his sister, and he told me something technical that was wrong with her lungs. I said, "That must be scarey." He answered, "It is until you get used to it!" (Brennan is in the 1st grade.) I am amazed at how children can word things simply and efficiently when we adults struggle to express ourselves.....of such is the kingdom of Heaven.

Then, tonight, we heard Darla Robinson's mom died. It was expected, but it never really is when your mom dies. Pray for Darla, too.

Bob is now in the hospital in hospice care. Pray for all involved--that God will be glorified. That is Bob's and Tresa's wish.
