The race is over. He finished well. “Well done my good and faithful servant.” Those are the words that my dear dad heard as he entered into spending eternity with our God. Today his fight with Lewy Bodies Disease is over. Today his fight with this body, and the confines of it, are over. Today he is set free!
I wept thinking about how he will be able to walk again. How he will be able to think again. How he will be able to sing and pray again. How he will be able to speak again! I miss him terribly already.
God gave me this scripture passage today while I was sitting in my office lost in thoughts and memories.
“But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head. I was crying to the Lord with my voice, And He answered me from His holy mountain. I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustains me.” Psalm 3:3-5
Thank you to each of you who have helped pray, and ask God to take my dad. He has heard our cries! Praise God.
I have this song running through my head right now…
Blessed Be Your Name In the land that is plentiful, Where Your streams of abundance flow Blessed be Your name Blessed Be Your name, When I’m found in the desert place, Though I walk through the wilderness Blessed Be Your name,
Every blessing You pour out I’ll turn back to praise When the darkness closes in, Lord Still I will say Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name, Blessed be the name of the Lord, Blessed be Your glorious name,
Blessed be Your name When the sun’s shining down on me When the world’s ‘all as it should be’ Blessed be Your name Blessed be Your name On the road marked with suffering Though there’s pain in the offering Blessed be Your name
Every blessing You pour out I’ll turn back to praise When the darkness closes in, Lord Still I will say Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be Your name Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be Your glorious name Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name, Blessed be the name of the Lord, Blessed be Your glorious name, You give and take away, You give and take away, My heart will choose to say Lord, blessed be Your name…
Dad, I am proud of you. I miss you. I love you. And I want to be just like you.
~Your Son

Never in all of the years that I have had the privalage of being his son have I ever heard him talk negatively about God’s bride, the church. In the midst of some painful situations He always remained positive. One of the last sermons that he ever preached was in the dining room of my grandmothers house in NJ. He read Psalm 16 and he shared with all of us around the table about how God has allowed the lines to fall in pleasant places for him. He also reminded us that God is his inheritance. I will never forget his ability to comfort us even when he was the one suffering. What a man of God. Praise God for my dad’s life.
