God knocks on our doors more than once in our lives. My dad heard a knock that must have been from the maker himself close to Easter morning. My dad was called home to his resting place. He must have heard him call his name I do believe.
God doesn’t want to make us cry, but he knows what must be done and he wants us to believe in him without any doubt. I couldn’t understand why my dad had to be in so much discomfort with his breathing for a month. The day before his last day he saw his grandson John who had been waiting to see him, but couldn’t get there when he was first diagnosed. The last day this same man states he must change a few things in his life. His last days were designed to finished everything on earth that God had planned for his life.
Life is tough more times than not; however his people ahould always remember that our father in heaven knows best. I’ve learned a lot from my dad’s life. I learned even more while he was preparing to meet his creater this last month.
Seek knowledge from above, and the answers you seek may lead you down a stronger path of everlasting trust in your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I miss him terribly, but I know his plan was a divine one. I trust him even though I’d do anything to bring him back once again. His face will shine everytime I think of him now, and forever.
God’s plan for our lives may be different than we had designed it; however never doubt him, and let him carry you when you are troubled about anything in your life. God is magnificiant, and true to what is best for us, even when we are in doubt, and going through trials, and tribulations
God is good
Let him guide you
Hold you in the palms of his hands
And then finally one day
He’ll capture you
And bring you home too
To join them together
With you once again
Now that’s a reunion that will be
I feel your pain, Jenny. When my own dad passed away, I was also full of grief but I think of every single day as another day closer to where he is….and that someday, we will eventually meet again.
The pain and the void left in our hearts will always be there….and only God can heal that wound and fill that void.
Sorry to hear your news Jenny, but know you have the power to move on. Your father will always be with you.
My aunt passed away recently, shortly after seeing the ultra sound of the newest great-grandchild-to-be. At 98 years of age, her family were telling her if she wanted to go, just go. That was easier to take than my father’s passing of a massive stroke – totally sudden and unexpected. But it was his time.
Sorry, Jenny, for your loss.
my deepest sypmathy
Oh Jenny, I am so sorry. I know your father’s passing was expected but nothing really prepares us for it. I lost my father when I was a teenager and I never really got over it and still think of him all the time. I am so glad you have your faith to comfort you.
be at peace Jenny.
My heart goes out to you and your family, Jenny. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. My grandmother died on January 5, 2011 so I do know your pain. She was sick, but she was feeling a little better the day that she died. My family found out through her death certificate that her lungs were getting worse.
Yes, we all must believe that our Father knows best and that our lives are in His control and His only. I lost my father last June and the pain in my heart is still strong. I know he is in a better place and I rejoice that he knew his Father in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
God wants you be strong and never feel despair and sad in whatever difficult situation you might have to face.
subtly touching. may God anf his love & peace be with you and your family!
I liked this article-you said something to me personally with this article.
oh, Jenny I just saw this post. No words for me to express, take care Jenny.
My condolences on your loss! May God give you strength and comfort.
Jenny Heart this is a lovely share and it is said that God works in mysterious ways and I have found this to be very true. That some times Our love ones suffer not for themselves, but for some other that God wants to bring home. And that person may never even step into the others Hospital room or stand at their death bed.
This is why I am so against assisted suicides, God uses His faithful servants as He will. And then that servant shall also be blessed by the Father’s use of him to bless the other. God does have a plan and it is not for any other to Know until He decides to make it known. Lovely share.
