I wish I could have come to the services this weekend to pay my respects and comfort others who are mourning. Yet, I am encouraged because I know SO many loved ones attended the visitation and funeral to express their love for Dean. Though I only knew Dean for a short time, he impacted my life tremendously because Dean shaped Robert into the incredible man of God that he is becoming every day. I am grateful for all the ways Dean was dedicated to the body of Christ, and that he was used mightily because he was a humble vessel.
So sorry for your loss. I too lost 3 people in the month of October. Something I really found comfort in was our hope in the bible. One particular verse found at John 5:28,29 reminds us of a resurrection of our loved ones. Knowing I will see my loved ones in perfect health one day is such an encouraging thought. I look forward to a peaceful earth myself. Ps 37:10,11 tells us the the wicked will be no more and the righteous will reside in the earth in an abundance of peace. We sure don’t have peace in this world now do we? I hope you can find comfort in these words as you deal will the heavy pain and grief.
