A Life Remembered

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Psalm 139:1-16

That we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. —2 Corinthians 1:4

Daddy, help me.” Those were the last words Dianne and Gary Cronin heard their daughter say as she struggled to breathe. Kristin, 14 years old, died suddenly—just 2 days after saying she didn’t feel well. A strep infection attacked her body on Thursday. By Saturday, she was pleading with her daddy to help her.

Before Kristin died, I was scheduled to speak at her family’s church in Soldotna, Alaska. In God’s timing, I stood before the congregation the day after her funeral.

Kristin was one of those vivacious teens who loved Jesus and lived for Him—and whose sudden death leaves us with a million questions.

Because I went through a similar loss of my own teenage daughter a few years ago, I was able to offer some advice to this stunned and grieving church. First, I said, we must recognize God’s sovereignty. Psalm 139:16 reminds us that Kristin’s life was the exact length God intended. Second, I asked the church never to forget her family. Whether it’s 2 months or 5 years later, the family will never “get over” losing Kristin. They will never stop needing Christians who care and remember.

In times like this, don’t forget that God is in control and that He wants us to be a comfort to others.

When we sustain a heartbreaking loss,
When grief overwhelms our soul,
The Savior who gave Himself on the cross
Reminds us that He’s in control. —D. De Haan

In every desert of despair God has an oasis of comfort.
Bible in One Year: 2 Chronicles 30-31; John 18:1-18

Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

DC Metroland weather report

~ Today.....A mix of clouds and sun with a slight chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. High 86F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

~ Tonight.....Partly cloudy with a slight chance of thunderstorms. Low 68F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

Actually, we had two days without rain but Saturday was cool and cloudy almost all day. We finally got a chance to work in the yard and cut grass. Back to more rain this week. I keep telling myself, "well, at least the weekends are dry so far."

I will be starting a summer class today and it will run til the end of July - SO - on Mondays and Wednesdays I'll be arriving and departing early. Which means I may not be around long at the Canteen so that I can keep up with the workload here.

Time for me to make my rounds. But, never fear...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is

(Really, we've always been open. )

Come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.
