My pastor, who fought cancer since the early 2000s went home to be with the Lord earlier this week. From what I know of him, both through personal interactions and stories of people whose lives he touched, I would like to say he was the most Christ-like person I have ever met. We all miss him dearly!
I think, though, that he would not want us to cry for him. He is in Heaven with Jesus! His is no longer in pain. He is walking streets of gold and hanging out in his mansion. So, it puts me in mind of a country song. It's by Brad Paisley and it is called When I Get Where I'm Going. Look it up on youtube. It's a great song!
Today is pastor's funeral. I know there will be lots of tears today, but I am so glad to know that he is walking with Jesus and no longer suffering! He was intent on bringing God glory throughout the entire ordeal. One person I know of said that when he would visit the pastor, trying to comfort him, he always came away being comforted himself. The pastor was selfless and loving!
I don't know the best way to end this post, but I am so glad to have known this wonderful man!
