Relying On His Promise…
As many of our friends and church family know Cindy’s Mom has been in a local nursing home since last December suffering with the “later” stages of Alzheimers. Recently we’ve moved Cindy’s Dad into our home and this weekend the “kids” began the task of going through things at the home place. There are many mixed emotions among the family. Sometimes there is laughter as a memory is shared. Sometimes there are tears as other memories come from deep within. Thankfully this family has as it’s base a relationship with the Lord. Thankfully we don’t have to walk through times like these alone. Jesus promise is just as real today as it ever was. He PROMISED that He would be with us always – even to the end of the world. We aren’t the first family to walk this road and neither will we be the last. It’s our prayer that no matter what you are going through today you will have the peace of knowing that Jesus is right there with you. As children of God we never have to walk alone. The weekend isn’t over and neither is the task of going through everything, having an estate sale and selling the house that the family has known and enjoyed for many many years – but one thing is sure – we have peace in knowing God is still on His throne. He knew all this was coming our way and we will make it through. As one song writer wrote many years ago…”through it all – i’ve learned to trust in Jesus, I’ve learned to trust in God.” Trust Him – He will never fail you. Pray for Cindy, her dad, her siblings and all of the grandkids. Most of all – no matter what YOU are going through – RELY ON HIS PROMISE – He won’t fail you. Pastor James
