After a lifetime of devotion to his flock, it's your father's turn to be tended to in Paradise.

The happiest lives make the saddest good-byes. How fortunate you are.

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

We are praying with, and rejoicing with, you during this time.

[Jean Chauvin]

My condolences, sola.

May your sorrow be eased with the understanding that our Lord and Savior is all sovereign and knows best when to take his sheep home.

May you be comforted by knowning that the one wish your father shared with those Greeks who came to see Jesus has come true:

"The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus." -John 12:21

When peace like a river, attendeth my way;
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

It is well...with my soul... It is well, it is well, with my soul...

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

It is well...with my soul... It is well, it is well, with my soul...

He lives--oh, the bliss of this glorious thought;
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Oh my soul.

It is well...with my soul... It is well, it is well, with my soul...

And, Lord, haste the day when our faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
The trumpet shall sound, and the Lord shall descend;
Even so, it is well with my soul...

It is well...with my soul... It is well, it is well, with my soul...

Horatio Gates Spafford [1873]

As one who has lost not one, but TWO beloved parents, the state of whose souls is hopeful but not certain, I say to you:

It's perfectly Christian for you to mourn and miss your godly father/grandfather, and you just go ahead and mourn him all you need; and

Never underestimate what a wonderful balm it is to your soul that you know that your loved one's Redeemer lives, that He has conquered sin and death, and that your father/grandfather wouldn't leave His presence now for all the riches in the universe.

Greatful to L.R.Shelton as one of those God used to get my thinking straight. He will be missed.

[OrthodoxPresbyterian]

Prayers requested for Our Brother sheltonmac and all his family, AJ.

God, in His Good Providence, has decided that his Grandfather Lee Shelton has fought the good fight for bloody-well long enough on this cursed Earth, and the Faithful Servant is deserving of His Everlasting Reward.

I do not know how many of our Calvinist family are on Lees bump list..so I am flaging those that may not know of the death of Lees dad..please read docs post so you see it was also a loss to all Christians that believe God is sovereign

[lockeliberty]

God be with you.

6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith: 8 henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing.

[MarMema]

memory eternal.
