God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. ( John 3:16 *NIV )
Dear Addison,
Today we remember all of those who have lost their lives
because of the Earthquake that struck Haiti. Let us remember;
The souls of the righteous are in the hands of God,
and no torment will ever touch them. In the eyes
of the foolish they seem to have died, and their
departure was thought of as a disaster, their going
from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace.
Therefore, today, I would like to dedicate this message in
remembrance of those who have lost their lives because of
that tragedy. I would also like to share a poem with you in
their honor. A poem whose author remains unknown!
I'M FREE
Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
But be not burdened with times of sorrow,
For I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full. I've savored much,
Good friends, good times and loved ones'
touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me.
God wanted me now. He set me free!
Finally, Addison, let us bow our heads and say a prayer
for the victims of that horrible tragedy, and for their loved
ones as well. Amen
All My Love & Prayers,
Pastor Allen
