Heaven is that much sweeter now...

...since my dear Uncle Milt arrived there this morning. We will miss him so much but rejoice in knowing he is now with his Savior and will never suffer pain or sorrow again.

I Thessalonians 4:13-18 has been in my mind all day today. I just love this passage of scripture.

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. (Here's my favorite part) For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord! Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Thank you Jesus, for your love and comfort.

I'm so happy to see you have a blog here!
Yes, thank you, Aiden is a pretty neat kid.
I saw Hannah last time I was at VBC for mops, all I could think was "where did the time go?" She was leading Riley around (cute) and I could see that she must naturally be the responsible type.
I look forward to reading more about your family!
