A Personal Thank You
[God] comforts us . . . that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble. 2 Corinthians 1:4
|
For more than 3 years, our family has traveled the road of sorrow and comfort since the death of our daughter Melissa.
That ministry of comfort is described in 2 Corinthians 1, where Paul wrote, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God" (vv.3-4).
Over these years, I have shared with Our Daily Bread readers what we've learned from God and what we've learned about Him. Our family has been touched by the comfort He has brought us through His Word and His people.
When I wrote about God's work of comfort through this tragedy, hundreds upon hundreds of readers sent us letters, e-mails, photos, songs, poems, paintings, and more to express sympathy, love, and appreciation. God brought us comfort, and I shared. God brought others comfort, and they shared. In their love, God's people have shown how His ministry of comfort works. Thank you for caring for us.
If we've been comforted by God, we can have a part in the incredible ministry of comfort to others. Dave Branon
The comfort God has given us
He wants us all to share
With others who, with broken hearts,
Are caught in deep despair. Sper
Those who have suffered are best able to help those who are suffering.

Where Can We Find Comfort?

Welcome Home
A BRAVE, UNSELFISH HERO
His family says Pfc. Benjamin C. Schuster was always laughing and joking, always riding around on a moped, or working on some crazy gadget or scheme.
But he was serious about one thing - fighting in Iraq.
"I've never seen him so passionate about anything in his life," said Schuster's brother, Andrew M. Davis of Wheatfield. "There was no doubt in his mind that he was doing the right thing."
Schuster, 21, of Grand Island,s the first local soldier to be killed in Iraq or Afghanistan this year.
He had volunteered for duty in Iraq and had been there less than three weeks when he was killed by a gunshot wound on Feb. 25 in the city of Ramadi.
Schuster's Buffalo-based Army National Guard Unit was not scheduled for duty in Iraq, so he recently volunteered to fill a position in Iraq with another unit based in Pennsylvania.
"He told us he volunteered for one reason - because if he went, that was one other person who wouldn't have to go," his brother said. "Ben didn't want someone else to have to go in his place."
"That was Ben. He was a brave and unselfish person, every day of his life," said longtime friend Brandan Jones. "He was a hero."
