Prayer request: My Sister-in-law, Barbara Robinson has passed away

My sister-in-law, Barbara Robinson, passed away on Saturday. She had been suffering from cancer for several months. She had underwent radiation therapy and they thought it was gone, but it came back a couple months later and caused much pain and suffering before it took her life. She was a devoted wife, mother and dear friend. My brother, Don Robinson, is heartbroken and feeling lost. They had been sweethearts since they first met as teenagers. They had been married for over forty years. He and his family are in need of prayer.

Barbara also leaves her surviving children, Jeanette Draper and Jackie Harris and grandson Eric Robinson. Her son Don Jr. preceded her in death. She also leaves her loving father Lawrence Baker and brothers Mike, David and Timothy and sister Kathy. The Robinson and Baker families have been very close these last forty plus years. We’ve traveled and camped together from one end of California to the other. Barbara was like a mother to us all. She cared for us and looked out for us. She was always there when anyone needed her. She especially looked out for me and Sheila after she had her stroke. She came over three times a week to help Sheila bathe and dress, cleaned our house and fixed our lunch. And, as I was working at my desk, she made sure my cup or glass was never empty. She was a great and loving friend to us all. We will remember her always.

God bless.

NO words can give comfort at this time. The only thing that makes the pain of grief tolerable is the peace of God that defies human understanding.

Father, God, I ask for Your peace for Don and his children, Your supernatural peace that You are willing to give that shows Your Awesome Power in this hour of great grief. Your peace that takes away Don’s loneliness even though he’s alone. Father God, you did it for me and you are no respecter of person, You will do it for Don. Fill him with Your Love. Thank you, in Jesus Name.

So sad Jim.

My brother lost his wife of 43 years to a heart attack Memorial Day of 2006. They too were sweethearts back in High School days. They married almost immediately after graduation. I’ve seen the grief.

Prayers for your brother Don and his family.

I cannot imagine life without my wife. 30 years next month.

I've also seen firsthand what cancer can do when it took my Father-in-Law a few months ago. It's horrible.

All we can do is pray for a breakthrough in treatment, a cure if possible, to spare others of this dread disease.

May God by with you and your family during this difficult time.

When Earth's Last Picture Is Painted

By Rudyard Kipling
1892

L'Envoi To "The Seven Seas"

When Earth's last picture is painted and the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colours have faded, and the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it -- lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall put us to work anew.

And those that were good shall be happy; they shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comets' hair.
They shall find real saints to draw from -- Magdalene, Peter, and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all!

And only The Master shall praise us, and only The Master shall blame;
Andd no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame,
But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They are!
