This past Wednesday we said goodbye to my dear Mamma. After nearly losing her almost three years ago, my Mom departed this life for the glories of heaven. I appreciate so much the love, prayers and condolences offered by so many. There is no way I can express the impact this dear servant of the Lord has had on my life. My brothers and sisters and I are so grateful to have had her for these many years and appreciate so much these past few "bonus" years.
Suddenly, the gift of eternal life provided by our loving God means even more to me. Knowing she is safe in the arms of Jesus and that we will see her again is the most precious truth imaginable.
Services
Services are being held at the church on Sunday with visitation beginning at 4 p.m. and a Celebration of Life service starting at 7. All are welcome to attend.
Please pray that God will uphold me as I attempt to bring the message at the service. This has been even more difficult than I could have imagined. I thought I would be stronger and be offering support to my wonderful brothers and sisters. Turns out they are comforting me.
I have so much for which to be grateful, not the least of which is you, a loving church with a heart to support their pastor.
I will be at church on Sunday -- as there is no place I would rather be at this time.
With much love,
Bo
