I am so sorry, my FRiend.
Thank you so much for the picture of this loved and loving man. They really are worth a thousand words.
Heavenly Father, we ask You to please welcome Scott’s eternal soul to rest; and please Lord, bring some comfort to all of those he leaves behind; ease their hearts, after such a valiant fight.
May God hold you all close.
Tatt
All our Prayers for his family. May he Rest in Peace.
God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.
Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.
In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.
Amen.
your welcome, he needs our prayers still.
May God grant peace and comfort for his family and friends. Scott sounds like he was a man who walked his days on earth with Jesus, now he’s walking the streets of gold with our Lord.
Prayers up for you family.
In This Very Room
March 4, 2012 — by David C. McCasland
Read: John 20:19-29
Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” —John 20:26
Bible in a Year:
Joshua 16-18
At our church we often sing the beautiful song by Ron and Carol Harris: “In This Very Room.” It begins, “In this very room there’s quite enough love for one like me.” This song reminds me that although there is great encouragement in gathering with other Christians for worship, the important thing is that Christ is present. But it goes beyond that. He is with us not just at church but in every room of our lives.
I wonder where you’re reading this—a kitchen, a coffee shop, a prison cell, a military post? Perhaps you’re in a hospital or a courtroom. It may be a room that reflects everything that’s right in your life or a place that represents all that’s wrong. And you might be afraid.
In the aftermath of the awful reality of Jesus’ crucifixion, His followers met in a familiar room. John records that “when the doors were shut [locked] where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, ‘Peace be with you’” (John 20:19). A week later it happened again when Jesus entered through locked doors to bring peace through His presence (vv.26-29).
Wherever you are today, “There’s quite enough hope and quite enough power to chase away any gloom, for Jesus, Lord Jesus, is in this very room.”
When in the midst of life with its problems,
Bent with our toil and burdens we bear;
Wonderful thought and deep consolation:
Jesus is always there. —Lillenas
Our loving God is always near—forever by our side.
Prayers for Scott and your family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I turn my prayers toward your family’s comfort and strength. He seemed like such a fighter. I hope that you posting an account of his illness may give someone else a heads up if they develop symptoms and they will get to the doctor quickly.
May God be with your family. And may you have peace knowing Scott is now at ease and with our Lord and Savior. He has a wonderful smile, the sort that makes you smile back.
I am so sorry for your loss!
I’m so sorry. God bless.
I am so sorry. Please accept my condolences and prayers for all the family and friends. He’s in the Lord’s hand now.
I’m so very sorry.
Prayers for you and your family.
I am so saddened to hear this news, but I am heartened to know he was surrounded by our prayers for him when he stepped into perpetual light. Be assured prayers continue for the Repose of his Soul, and for those who loved him.
“End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path... One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass... And then you see it...
White shores... and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.”
Thank you for keeping us up to date. I’m so very sorry to hear this news. Continued prayers for you and Scott’s family. I was just talking to some friends we visited this weekend about Scott and his battle and what a wonderful place FR is for extended prayer.
Take care and God bless.
I am so sorry. Prayers continue for your family.
I lost my Brother-in-law last January to cancer. Philip was only 39 years old with 3 kids; I will miss him and think of him every day. My heart is with you and your family. Regards and God Bless. Anna
