Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Sad News

Last evening my step-dad passed from this world to his new home in Heaven.
Ken, I, Chris and Vickie were all with him when he took his last breath.
We were singing hymns as he went to meet his Lord.
Though we are so very sad that he had to leave us
we are comforted knowing that he is now in no pain
and enjoying life in Heaven.

My love and prayers are with you and the family. I thought --when you all were called back to New York ---that things must be grave for your step father... As hard as it is, I know that you know that he is now out of pain and in the arms of Jesus. That is GOOD... God Bless.

Hugs,
Betsy

What a blessed way to pass with you all there and singing hymns. It sounds as if you were on holy ground. I know that you will feel sorrow, but what joy to know that he is well and whole and younger than we are! God bless you, my friend.

I'm so sorry for the feelings of loss and emptiness that inevitably come. It is good to know that our loved ones aren't actually "gone." They are in another place, and reunion will be a sweet day! May God's Spirit comfort you.
