Ladyjd721, what a lovely tribute to you dad. Thank you for sharing with us and my prayer is that you will be comforted by the love we share with you here.
God bless you and your family.
Evangelist Cookie
They say memories are golden,
well, maybe that is true.
We never wanted memories,
We only wanted you.
Many times we've cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place
no one else could fill.
If tears could build a stairway and
heartache make a lane.
We'd walk the path to Heaven and
bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us back
one by one,
the chain will link again.
Love always,
Your Family & Friends
VERSE:
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
-- 1 Corinthians 15:55

THOUGHT:
Death has the power to end life. Death has the power to
separate. Death has the power to discourage and defeat us. But, we
know the truth: Jesus lives! Because he lives, we know we will live
with him. We believe that his victory over death is our victory. So
like Jesus, we mock death and its power to destroy us. Jesus has
destroyed death and brought immortality to life ... in us through
the Gospel.
PRAYER:
Father, I confess that the death of those I love still hurts me.
I thank you that my separation from them will only be for a short
time. I thank you that death doesn't separate me for long from
those whom I love and who love you. Thank you for giving me the
victory in Jesus. Thank you, Jesus, for defeating death. In your
precious and triumphant name, Jesus Christ the Lord, I pray. Amen.
