On Vacation

We (my family and I) will be on a little vacation over the weekend and through the beginning of next week.

We are taking a short trip to the Eastern part of the stat just to get away. I have been at a stressful time in my life for some reason. I don’t understand it, but this is just for us to get away. It is for us to separate ourselves from the trials of this old world for a few moments in time. It is for us to try not to worry about things. So everyone is clear we are not trying to get away from God, as He goes everywhere with us just the world.

This for us I hope will be an all out get away. I ask that you help us pray for traveling mercies and that we will be safe while we are there and traveling mercies home.

I also ask that you remember my brother and sister – in – law, her mother, and her brothers and there families and I ask that you remember her aunt during this time of loss for them.

God saw fit to call a good man, husband, father, pastor (preacher) and friend home. As I said earlier death is never easy, but the testimony this dear man of God leaves behind is one that lets us know (Christian people) that we will see him again.

I don’t understand why he had to suffer during the last part of his life. I don’t understand why the doctors kept telling his family that they would be able to turn him around and he would get better only to tell them on Tuesday that there was nothing else they could do for him and sent him home only to die less than a day after he got there. There are a lot of things I don’t understand. I do understand that God chose to call him home at the age of sixty – one. One thing we must remember God is no respecter of persons.

 

May God Bless You!
