Sorrow and Joy

There are many times that God leads us along life's path when we must hold sorrow with one hand and joy with the other. This past week was one of those times. One of the most promising, energetic members of the church work in Polokwane left this world to be with his Savior on Thursday evening. More than a hundred of his many friends and relatives gathered with us for his funeral in the front of our house Sunday morning, then the others went on to the grave side service and I watched the younger children at the house. The Gospel message was clearly presented by my Uncle, and we pray that the death of this man will bring others to the realization that life is very short whether we like to think about it or not. We truly "...sorrow not, even as others which HAVE NO HOPE." as it says in 1Thessalonians 4:13. Do you have hope?
