One of the elders in our church lost their father this week to a long battle. He was getting older (early 80′s) and his sickness was increasing so the family knew he was going to go any day. The guy who is an elder at our church, who is also a doctor, has seen his fair share of people come and go. His dad (from what I have gathered) was an amazing man who was on fire for the Lord. He was a minister of several years and had a massive youth group at one time that reached a multitude for the Lord.
What amazes me about the whole situation was an e-mail I received from our elder the other day regarding his fathers passing. He said, “Dad went to Heaven @ 4:30 this morning. He went relatively quickly and very peacefully. Praise God! Again, thank you all for your visits and your notes. Our family is doing very well as we know that this is really a wonderful victory to a race well run. We have yet to make any funeral arrangements, but I will keep you posted.“
How will our life song speak when you have gone to heaven with the Savior? How will you be remembered? How will you continue to get people to come to have a relationship with Christ after you have left this earth?
Think about it.
