GW,
God be with you and your family. I can say that I know what you are going through. My beautiful helpmate was called home in February of this year. She had terminal lung cancer. She was 48 years young. We both began trusting in God and Christ in 1982 in our early 20's. "God is Good" was always her motto. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him" I know she is in a better place, our 2 teens know that she in a better place. We have been given grace to bear the loss. We have a peace beyond all understanding. We miss her more with each passing day. I see that this life is truly short when compared to eternity. Make the best of what God has given you. Love, as hard as you are able.
"Lord of heaven and earth, I offer up this prayer right now with all these people on the forum who feel the need to respond to the request of a man most of us probably have never met, but we all feel a sense of community to. Lord, we lay aside our hobbies, we lay aside those things which you have given us for enjoyment in this world, things that will pass away with time and are corruptable. Lord help us to see that which is above, extend your grace in this time of great need. We are all so very needy Lord but oftentimes we forget to ask for help. Our brother is asking for help Lord, not for himself, but for those he holds dear. Lord grant him his prayer, his many prayers. May your spirit even now minister to George and his family that you hear our prayer.
Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day,
our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the Power, and the Glory,
forever and ever,
Amen.
Peace be with you all.
