First stop is taking food to the church for the family from my church, after the funeral of their beloved Dad, Uncle, Grandfather, Husband, Friend.
Then to the funeral service at 11:30 at the funeral home, and following he will be buried at the National Cemetery, with full military honors.
After that I have appointment at my doctor for follow-up from epidural at 3:30.
I ask and covet your prayers for:
1) Jim
2) My best friend's son in law goes to court today for sentencing for a crime he committed. My heart goes out to my friend's daughter and two children, who are totally innocent in the whole matter. Just when you think you have problems, something or someone comes along that is much worse than you are. May God wrap His arms around this family.
3) The family burying their loved one.
My current favorite song is "God Is Still Good", and although I can't find a You Tube version that I like, here are the words.......
As I look back on all of my days
so many times and so many ways
I have been blessed and all I can say
is God is still good.
Sometimes the night brings sorrow and pain
sometimes the tears flow like the rain
but through it all He never changed
God is still good
vs.2
There have been times that I've let him down
made my mistakes but still I have found
I stumble and fall but through it all
God is still good.
Mercy still flows from the palm of His hand
He will give grace and help me to stand
although He knows how unworthy I am
God is still good.
Chorus
God is still good when the waves roll high
God is still good all through the night
when I've done all I can and I don't understand
God is still good.
Clouds of doubt may darken the ways
but showers of blessings may come any day
He'll bring me through and I'll stand and say
God is still good!
Amen.
I join you in prayer, my friend .....
ReplyDeleteYes, God is still good. I too will join you in prayer for those folks and of course for Jim.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a busy day. I hope it's a good one. You take care. God bless you both. ♥
Praying for those on your heart today and for you and Jim as well.
ReplyDeleteAn awesome song. The words are very meaningful right now, I know. You may always count on my prayers for your prayer requests, Linda. So sad for the loss of a loved one, to death or to prison. Hope your appointment at 3:30 went well. Love & hugs.
