friend’s death
Filed under: Ron's Reflections
Posted by: site admin @ 11:19 am

          Today I found out that a friend of mine passed away.  He had been sick for a couple of weeks but I never dreamed he would die.  He was a gentle soul and donated many hours of life to serve others.  I had been praying for days that he would recover and be allowed to live a full and productive life.  I know that death comes to all but at this moment I wish Ted was given more life.  I feel pain for his widow and sons and daughter.  I talked with his wife and she is obviously in shock.  Shock is really a good word to describe how I feel too.

          So, now I find myself pouring out my heart to God. Why did this happen and why now?  I understand that now Ted is a rest and ‘in a better place.’  But still I wonder.  In the midst of my struggling I know that I must trust God to know best.  Despite my feelings of lost my faith has taught me to trust.

          So, at this moment, I am asking God for His help in trusting.  I pray healing will come to this family and to me.  I am asking that God’s love and comfort will come to all in their time of need.
