It is a beautiful morning here in Utah, the sun is shining brightly, the skies are blue and filled with an occasional white cotton ball cloud wandering by and the temperature is perfect for sitting out on the porch and conversing with our Father in heaven. As I sat and watched the sun come up over the mountain, lost in my thoughts about a young lady who's life was just beginning who passed on to paradise on Saturday I felt the grief and the sadness that all who knew and loved her are feeling, I felt a huge lump rise in my throat and I wept for them, only imagining what they are going through today as they awake this morning, as they dress methodically, as they leave to drive to the service, as they sit there in a trance hearing the words that no loved one wants to hear, as they watch as the casket is closed and they follow the hearse to the cemetery and they see the finality in the events of the day, her casket lowered into the ground and her physical body gone from their eyes. I sobbed asking God to allow each of them to feel her presence so strongly that there is no mistaking that it is her with them. I asked him to hold her husband in his arms allowing him to weep until he is empty from tears, allowing each of them time to say their "until we meet again's" all the while feeling Heather's arms wrapped around them calming their souls with knowledge that she will never be far from them. Father God as the Gower and Robertson families go through this hardest of events today, wrap your loving robes of strength around them, let baby Zachary be the link for them to her, allow his smile to be the same as hers and allow his personality to be kind and gentle like hers so that he will be a constant reminder of the good she is, allow him to know her by her spirit and allow him to never feel that she is far from him. In the name of Jesus Christ we ask these favors humbly. Amen.
There are many who are struggling this day and I would like to lift each of them in prayer, I have a life long friend who will be going in to surgery this morning for an infection coming from a recent hip replacement, and a friend just coming home from the hospital recovering from a blood clot. A family friend who's cousin was killed in an auto accident and another passenger who had to have emergency surgery. There are so many in need of prayer, so many struggling with sickness, disease, loss, financial woes, relationship worries, and the list goes on and on. Let us today, right now ask God to make provision for each of them, giving them was is needed to keep them strong, to give them courage, to give them will and hope to keep on moving forward. Father God bless each of them with peace in theirs minds, calm in their hearts and comfort in their bodies as they battle their problems. In the name of Jesus Christ we ask these mercies and favors amen.
