Bro Rick, I am also sitting here with tears running down my face as we share your pain. You know that we are here for you. You know that we are praying for you.

You also need to know that at a time like this, it is not required of you to be strong. When Jesus went to Lazarus's tomb, He wept. The passing of a person we love is hard - impossibly hard.

So it's ok if you feel the need to crumple up in a heap on the floor and weep. When you do, be assured that even if we are not there in our physical presence, in our spirits we are there kneeling around you, holding you, weeping with you and praying for you.

This is a beautiful way to say what we feel.
Thanks Margie.

My son and your husband are good friends from the Apostolic Friends Forum. Come. Let me show you around. Let's go worship at the throne of Jesus together."

Can you just see it, Mike?

Rick, I am soooooooo sorry for your loss. But oh so very thrilled for your precious wife. She as attained her goal.

I want to share a song with you. I wish I could find it on YouTube, but the words are the important part anyway

If You Could See Me Now

If You Could See Me Now
(Kim Noblitt)

Our prayers have all been answered. I finally arrived.
The healing that had been delayed has now been realized.
No one's in a hurry. There's no schedule to keep.
We're all enjoying Jesus, just sitting at His feet.

Cho: If you could see me now, I'm walking streets of gold.
If you could see me now, I'm standing strong and whole.
If you could see me now, you'd know I've seen His face.
If you could see me now, you'd know the pain is erased.
You wouldn't want me to ever leave this place,
If you could only see me now.

My light and temporary trials have worked out for my good,
To know it brought Him glory when I misunderstood.
Though we've had our sorrows, they can never compare.
What Jesus has in store for us, no language can share. (Chorus twice)

You wouldn't want me to ever leave this perfect place
If you could only see me now
If you could see me now
If you could only see me now

Yes, Margie, I can see it now! You knew my mom, and if ever there was someone who I believe made it to heaven, she's the one!

I"m sure One Accord feels the same way about his precious wife......

I am praying for you and your family Rick. May God Bless you in Jesus name.

Mike, there is no doubt in my mind at all that your mom is in heaven. None whatsoever! I look forward to seeing her there one day.

And to meeting One Accord's dear wife. Won't it be great to be able to actually see the face of the one we prayed for for so long.
