Mixed Emotions
December 30, 2013
Read: Revelation 21:1-7
For Marlene and me, mixed emotions precisely describes our wedding. Dont take that the wrong way. It was a wonderful event that we continue to celebrate more than 35 years later. The wedding celebration, however, was dampened because Marlenes mom died of cancer just weeks before. Marlenes aunt was a wonderful stand-in as the mother of the bride, but, in the midst of our happiness, something clearly wasnt right. Mom was missing, and that affected everything.
That experience typifies life in a broken world. Our experiences here are a mixed bag of good and bad, joy and paina reality that Solomon expressed when he wrote, Even in laughter the heart may sorrow, and the end of mirth may be grief (Prov. 14:13). The merry heart often does grieve, for that is what this life sometimes demands.
Thankfully, however, this life is not all there is. And in the life that is to come, those who know Christ have a promise: God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away (Rev. 21:4). In that great day, there will be no mixed emotionsonly hearts filled with the presence of God!
Peace! peace! wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above,
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,
In fathomless billows of love. Cornell
For the Christian, the dark sorrows of earth will one day be changed into the bright songs of heaven.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*
Prayers continue for Daniel and his peace of mind. Hope the doctors are finding the “right” meds for him and he can come home soon.
Were you able to talk to him? Prayers of peace for you and the family, as well.
My day has been quite busy with Mom stuff, as well as paperwork. The filing stack is getting big again.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!
Sgt. Daniel M. Vasselian, USMC 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment 2nd Marine Division KIA, Afghanistan 23 December 2013
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; For it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be." (1 Maccabees 3:5860)
"Eternal Father, Strong to Save" (Click)
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace! We who remain hold you in high honor. Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct; We who remain keep this place sacred. Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades; We who remain keep the watch. Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nations call; We who remain press the fight forward in your name. Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden; We who remain have taken up the torch. Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

THE SOLDIER Sub-Lt. Rupert Brooke, Royal Navy
If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is forever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam; A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
