Sad News by Susan L.

   My pastor passed away peacefully last night at ten thirty. He was a young man to have left us so early, I believe only in his late fifties, but his life's influence will continue. His lungs and other organs went on to give better lives to someone else. What a beautiful gift. Something all of us should do.
  I titled this post "Sad News" but there is also joy in it. Pastor Randy is now at home with his Maker.
  He has left behind a wife, children and grandchildren who will miss him terribly. His church family is also reeling from the sudden loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone as they tackle the business of organising a funeral. It is a hard and challenging time for all involved. May God's grace and peace cover them all.
  That's all for today.
  "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen." Mat 6:9-13
