Home in Glory
We planned to move Daddy home with Hospice care today (Monday), but . . .
Daddy lost consciousness around 10:10 and we couldn't move him. Before he lost awareness, he called all of us to his bedside. We all held his hands praying, crying and expressing our love. Pastor Harris led us in singing dad's favorite song (There is a fountain filled with blood). It turned into a singspiration and a mutual sharing of laughs and memories. God is good.
At 10:20 pm Our pastor, daddy and friend went home to be with Jesus. We are thankful that God took him with such grace and mercy. He didn't suffer. As we sang, his heart would strengthen, but as time drew on it continued to weaken until Jesus carried him home.
Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
We are especially grateful to all of the area pastors who have come by to visit with Daddy and our family during the past 2 weeks. Just think, he is experiencing now what he has preached about for the past 40+ years. Truly an awesome reward.
Thank you for your support of prayer at this time.
Singing His praises, Paul Sudbrock
