Prayer Needed

[Natural Citizen]

lily's dad has passed just this morning (lilymc)

Some of you may know that he was battling cancer. We had been praying for him on the prayer chain thread that seems to escape me at the moment. I simply cannot find it. Anyhow, she's packing up and heading to California from Baja as I write this. She hasn't even renewed her passport since she really just got back down there so please pray that she gets there without much obstacle. I will tell you all that lily is a very, very special person in my life. So it is from the bottom of my heart that I ask for your prayers for her and her family during this very difficult time in their lives. Please pray for God's strength for this family during this very difficult time. Please pray for God to welcome and receive lily's dad and our brother into his loving arms. His name is George.

Thank You

Regardless of my struggles with loss of faith I will be happy to send prayers and good vibes her way.

Rest in peace
My deepest condolences to the family.

 

[angelatc]

So sorry for her loss. Sending positive energy.

 

[juleswin]

Sorry for your loss. I am usually at a loss of words during time of grief. But hope the family sail through this storm safely and reemerge stronger as a family.



Love the take on death from this scene from Cloud Atlas. It tends to make the death and the prospect of it less depressing.

Wow, thank you so much NC and you all. I truly appreciate your prayers and kind words.

I still can't believe he's gone. I miss him already, and it hurts my heart every time I see something that reminds me of him... like his (empty) easy chair or things he wore, etc.

He was the type of person who was loved by everyone who knew him. He had a heart of gold, a great sense of humor and he was a loving and giving husband, father and grandfather.

I was going to share something else.. but for now I'll just share this collage. Thank you again for your prayers on that other thread and on this thread. I love you guys.


(my parents are in the pic on the top right. They were happily married for 54 years! They were always together. So as you can imagine, my Mom is heartbroken and not even sure how to live life without him.)

Gonna be like that awhile. The worst for me is when you forget... then it all comes back all at once and hits you like a freight train. Loss like that is tough.

But fret you not, for you will meet again. But not just yet.

Patience.

Before reading this line I looked at the photos. My assessment was that he is kind, with humor. It's in the eyes and the body language.

Those photos are beautiful--what a beautiful couple and family. Much love sent your way.

2 Corinthians 1:3 - 1:4 (KJV)
3 Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Matthew 5:4 (KJV)
Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Thank you. Yeah, it is tough especially because the last time I saw him alive, I wish I would've said more. At that time I didn't want to think that it was the final goodbye, so I treated it more as a "I will see you later" (at Christmas time). I did tell him I loved him though.

Btw, before I left California about 7 weeks ago, I was visiting my parents at that time and about a day before I left, I went to the store to pick up some things for them.

And I kid you not, this song was playing loud and clear at the store... so I felt like God was hinting to me to express myself with my Dad.




I do believe I will see him again though.... even though for most of his life he was an agnostic. Several months ago, I got a couple dreams on the same night about my Dad "going home" and in the dreams he was going to the same home I and the rest of my family were going to, but before us. They weren't like normal dreams, it was very clear and simple and symbolic. Then, just in the last couple days since he passed away, a few of us got some truly amazing revelations that my Dad made peace with God and accepted Jesus' invitation right before he died. (Long story.)

Those photos are beautiful--what a beautiful couple and family. Much love sent your way.

Thank you so much donnay, for those kind words and beautiful scriptures.

This is one that has really been speaking to me in the last couple days:

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ”

— Lamentations 3:22-23​

That brought tears to my eyes. I had a similar experience with my Dad and it literally changed my life.
