  • FAREWELL FOR NOW, ANNA PEARL...

     ...because in what will seem as a blink of the eye, we will meet again. Since there will be no more partings in heaven, there will only be the joy of the reunion. No more tears, no more heartache; but a special fulfillment in a way only God can provide.

    The verse that God gave Matt & Sarah for the past two weeks was evidence of His deep care and concern for our souls and the souls of our families:

    "This I call to mind and therefore I have hope: because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail - they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. I say to myself, "the Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him". The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him. It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.... For men are not cast off by the Lord forever. Though He brings grief, He will show compassion, so great is His unfailing love. For He does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men." Lamentations 3:21ff

    Let us continue to lift up Matt and Sarah before the Lord. They're such a wonderful, giving couple who have poured their lives into everyone around them. May we return just a portion of that love during their time of need.
