Urgent Prayer Request: Pastor and Wife in Auto Accident (Update at #152)

Word from my Dad | 02/16/2006 | Aracelis

[trisham]

I am so sorry to hear of Lily's passing. More prayers are on the way.

[Primetimedonna]

So sorry to hear the news of the passing of your Pastor's wife. She sounds like an amazing woman! We will keep she, and her family in our prayers!

[knittnmom]

She was there for me when my mother died…

And, now, you're there for her family.

Mercy Me has a song that is so appropriate for times like these. (I apologize if it's already been posted - I'm at work now, and don't have time to read the whole thread):

You're in a better place,I've heard a million times.

And at least million times I've rejoiced for you.

But the reason why I'm broken,the reason why I cry,

Is how long must I wait to be with you.

I close my eyes, and I see your face,

If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place,

Lord won't you give me strength to make it through

Somehow,I've never been more homesick than now.

Help me Lord 'cause I don't understand your ways,

The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know,

But even if you showed me,the hurt would be the same,

because I'm still here so far away from home.

In Christ, there are no goodbyes

In Christ, there is no end,

So I'll hold on to Jesus with all that I have

To see you again,to see you again.

[Primetimedonna]

Haven't forgotten about you! It's been hectic. Will get a Freepmail to you later today!

[Aracelis]

...But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry, Is how long must I wait to be with you...

Exactly so, my friend. Thank you for the beautiful lyrics...

Our tiny non-denominational church was built in the mid-1800s atop a hillside in the midst of very picturesque northern Illinois farmland. From the small cemetery in back of the church, you can see for miles around. Lily loved it all so very much, and I’m sure would be happy to know this is where she will rest...The stroke she endured robbed her of the ability to talk and sing, and mostly took away her ability to play the piano.

So very sorry to hear of this sad loss and may your Pastor soon get well. From your postcard like description of your church I can't think of a better place, now that Lily is with the Lord, where she can sing again and watch over her friends.

My sincere condolences to you and your congregation, our prayers are with you and the family during this time. Lilly is indeed with God now and we pray this will comfort your pastor through this troubled time, and with God's support bring him through this ordeal stronger than before.
