One of our crew around here, the Gardner family(Ward & Nancy) have lost three patriarcs of their family in the past five months. His grandfather, his father, and her father. This is trying at best, and our hearts are broken for them and their families. Our hope is their faith in God, and our prayers are answered with healing and great memories of those gone before us to prepare our places in the hosts of angels before our savior. These times are an important part of living, and growing in our faith. May God bless them in their journey. Today my mother joined them, and all our loved ones in what we call heaven. A place where they will dwell in the house of the lord, and shall live forever. Hopefully looking over us, smiling, with full hearts. While ours may be broken in selfish loss, we know their suffering has ended and they are in a much better place. The past few years have been very difficult for many in our(BCB) family, and today I have thought of you all, and continue to include you all in my prayers. Sorry for the ramble, but I know so many of you and ask for your prayers for all our group as a family of friends who sometimes share all in hopes of seeing the bigger picture. We are facing more challenging losses I cant elude to just yet, but many of us are in deep reflection and appreciation for blessings of friendships weve been privileged to enjoy. We have only the guarantee of salvation afforded us by our maker, not time, wealth, or other worldly pleasures. Family and friendship are second only to faith. Enjoy it every day, all of them. Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts. I cant express the value I place in you except here in type,,,,,
