I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to all of Jim’s family. There’s such a sense of helplessness when someone we love dies. I’d like to share some scriptural thoughts that really helps me. Prayer is so valuable at this time but it’s not that prayer simply makes us feel better. 2 Cor.4:7 says that God can give us, “… power beyond what is normal “, to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that we no longer cry or that we forget, but it means we recover. The reason we recover is because of our hope. Jesus Christ talked about our hope in John 5:28, “… all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out “. Jesus was referring to the resurrection, this is our hope. 2 Cor.1:3 describes our Creator as, “… the God of all comfort “. One way that God comforts us is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear. May the God of comfort (Ps.83:18) be your comfort now during this time of sorrow.

Sometimes it’s the little things that help us cope with the loss of a loved one – a photograph, a passing memory, a kindness that meant so much. These help sustain us as we wander through new feelings until we find our reserves of hope and strength within. May you find a place in your heart where the thoughts, prayers and compassion of others bring you comfort. Thinking of all of you, with deepest sympathy. Jeff & Jacqueline
