Hi FRiends, some sad news in our house tonight. My father in law passed away tonight from liver cancer. He was diagnosed in August. Three months later, he’s gone to Heaven tonight. He had a very happy marriage and a great life, loved fishing, was a state trooper over 30 years and was an Army veteran. Resting with The Lord Jesus now.

good night everyone

Oh, my goodness!
I am so very sorry to hear this sad news.
I'm sure he leaves behind
much love and many memories.
May your father-in-law rest in peace...

[TheConservativeParty]

Thank you. Amazingly enough, my father in law was cracking jokes with the EMTs that took him to the VA hospital on Tuesday. My husband was able to visit him earlier today and my mother in law was there all afternoon. He is in Heaven now, no more pain, just love and peace.

Bless his heart, he seems to have gone downhill very fast. I know it leaves a huge hole in the heart of a family to lose someone like that.

I had an uncle who had cancer and he survived about a year. He’s been gone since 2007 and was only 54. He was 10 years older than me, so he seemed like a cousin. Fun guy, everyone loved him.

Thanks for the reply, I know it’s late!

See ya tomorrow.

Valiant Actions

Bible in a Year:

• Ezekiel 11–13
• James 1

I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me . . . and I lay down my life for the sheep.

John 10:14–15 John Harper had no idea what was about to unfold as he and his six-year-old daughter embarked on the Titanic. But one thing he knew: he loved Jesus and he was passionate that others know Him too. As soon as the ship hit an iceberg and water started pouring in, Harper, a widower, put his little girl on a lifeboat and headed into the chaos to save as many people as possible. As he distributed life jackets he reportedly shouted, “Let the women, children, and the unsaved into the lifeboats.” Until his last breath, Harper shared about Jesus with anyone who was around him. John willingly gave his life away so others could live.

There was One who laid down His life freely two thousand years ago so you and I can live not only in this life but for all eternity. Jesus didn’t just wake up one day and decide He would pay the penalty of death for humanity’s sin. This was His life’s mission. At one point when He was talking with the Jewish religious leaders He repeatedly acknowledged, “I lay down my life” (John 10:11, 15, 17, 18). He didn’t just say these words but lived them by actually dying a horrific death on the cross. He came so that the Pharisees, John Harper, and we “may have life, and have it to the full” (v. 10).

Reflect & Pray

How do you reveal that you truly love those around you? How can you show Jesus’ love to someone through your actions today?

Jesus, there aren’t words grand enough to thank You for demonstrating the greatest act of love there is. Thank You for giving Your life away so I might live. Help me to show Your love to others no matter how much it costs me.

Turning from Conflict

Bible in a Year:

• Ezekiel 14–15
• James 2

Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.

Ephesians 4:26

In his graveside tribute to a famous Dutch scientist, Albert Einstein didn’t mention their scientific disputes. Instead, he recalled the “never-failing kindness” of Hendrik A. Lorentz, a beloved physicist known for his easy manner and fair treatment of others. “Everyone followed him gladly,” Einstein said, “for they felt he never set out to dominate but always simply to be of use.”

Lorentz inspired scientists to put aside political prejudice and work together, especially after World War I. “Even before the war was over,” Einstein said of his fellow Nobel Prize winner, “[Lorentz] devoted himself to the work of reconciliation.”

Working for reconciliation should be the goal of everyone in the church as well. True, some conflict is inevitable. Yet we must do our part to work for peaceful resolutions. Paul wrote, “Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry” (Ephesians 4:26). To grow together, the apostle advised, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs” (v. 29).

Finally, said Paul, “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (vv. 31–32). Turning from conflict whenever we are able helps build God’s church. In this, indeed, we honor Him. Reflect & Pray

How can God help us deal with conflict? To honor Him and your church, what conflict should you let go?

Loving God, when I face conflict, remind my heart to turn my anger over to You.

I hear you. I wish I had a few more students though. It has been difficult building up a new clientele since the quarantine.

But today was a BEAUTIFUL day.
