That Peace!

I miss our old neighbors. They were great! Tonight Tim and one of our other neighbors who is a young adult pastor, both shared some words at the funeral home for our neighbor that just passed away. It has been so awesome to see how God has used both Tim and Eric in the lives of this family. Us wives too have had the joy of being a part of their lives as well. Frank went to the Lord in peace! His wife Barb told me tonight that Tim was an angel sent to her. She knew the morning that he was taken to the hospital that Tim was the one who needed to be with him. When the hospital called her to come up she said that she knew he had died, but that she drove to the hospital with a peace because she knew that Tim was with him. Tonight she again spoke of that peace. It is so precious to hear from her as the day before he died we were praying with them for that "peace which surpasses all our understanding." That is what they received and it was a beautiful testimony of the love of Christ.

I love how God has used us during these months. It may not be with monetary gain, but this gain is much greater. To see people come close to Jesus is such a joy. Those who have fallen away come back to Jesus. Wow........

I know the passion that God has put in the heart of my husband. I love watching it. It is such a delight when God opens doors for him to serve. It makes me smile.

So we continue to take things one day at a time. Serving wherever the Lord has us to serve.
Being in the presence of the Almighty God is an awesome thing. (Did you know the meaning for awesome is terrifying?) I just read that!

It's late and I must get to bed, but wanted to blog this before sleep.
Sleep in the peace that surpasses all your understanding. Ask for it - let it all rest on Jesus - and he will give you that peace!
