Good Thursday morning all. ***Long post, please read to the end***
Please be in prayer for one of our church families, 2026 has been an incredibly difficult year for them. Yesterday they found out that their youngest sibling went home to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ yesterday afternoon. They have been strong in their faith, they have persevered through all of trials they have been through this year and yet they still continue to proclaim their faith and love for Jesus. That is an incredible display of true faith. Most people’s faith can easily falter going through much less than they have been through this year. I know mine has at times. This family is truly an inspiration and right now they are hurting terribly. We ask that you lift them up in your prayers and if you know them, let them know they are loved and cherished, not only by us, but by Jesus. While it is often hard to understand God’s plan and the reason things happen the way that they do and when they do, He has told us in Hebrews 13:5 “He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you”. We may not always understand, but rest assured that this family’s sibling is in Heaven with our Savior. She has given those who went before her the biggest hugs that she has ever had, and she is made whole through her faith in Jesus. No more pain and suffering. No more sadness. For the rest of her eternity her life in heaven will be joyous and perfect. God knew that these types of trials in life for us would be difficult to understand and to cope with, but He loves us so much He allows us time to grieve. So as this dear family grieves, it is our duty as their brothers and sisters in Christ to lift them up and love on them.
Your church is here for you, all you need to do is ask. We love you and we are praying for you and your family through this difficult time.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this post and for the prayers for this family.
We love you
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
