 Pastor Linda Sharing God's Love

In Loving Memory...10-8-11-To Phil and Stephanie_In Endless Love






To Phil and Stephanie_In Endless Love
Photobucket
 
 
If love could ever delay an untimely departure
It would be Phil's love for you in this I'm sure of
For over the years he's taken care to lovingly nurture
Upon meeting your love grew and in the Lord it matured

 

Then comes the highest level of love ever known
Putting aside your feelings not seeking your own
When the one you love is suffering wanting to go home
The ultimate love surrenders to let them go on

Photobucket
 
It is written to love your wife as Christ loved the church
My brother your love for Stephanie shows with honor all her worth
I often use you as an example of this command given
Wholeheartedly and willingly you've loved her as it is written


 
I called to say "I love you" to the both of you today
Her courage and strength surpasses any words I could say
With your heart breaking you said "God doesn't make mistakes"
Howbeit when the time comes Stephanie's life you'll celebrate

Photobucket
 
With a heavy heart in these last hours or days I will pray
The same strength and courage she has shown will manifest
in all when needed
My Sis-n-law and Sister in Christ again I will see
In heaven above made whole you'll show God's glory


 
On earth time and circumstances both hindered us
So I've tied you to my heart sending prayers up to Jesus
The Holy Spirit guided me last night for this poem to write
Unbeknownst to me before God called you unto your eternal life

Photobucket
 
I love you Phil and Stephanie as my heart also breaks today
My love and prayers in spirit go out for all your friends and family
Although it will ultimately be heaven's gain
It will be bittersweet for my brother is saying good-bye
to His wife and best friend
As well as her children and grandchildren she'll sadly be leaving


 
When you enter heaven's gate give hugs and kisses to all
Our family that will be waiting for our heavenly call
I feel in my spirit the trumpet of God will soon sound
Then all of us that are in Christ will be heaven bound

With All My Love I've Written This ; Love Your Sis
started poem late Sept.15 and finished Sept.16,2011
Praying this poem is read to my Sis Stephanie
before her departure to heaven

Photobucket

 
I wanted to share my brother's heartfelt message on 9-16-11...
The sweet breeze of Heaven is blowing this morning,
and I know that it's calling the best friend that I've ever had home.
My loss will be Heaven's gain. But, OH LORD!!
I'll miss her so!! Life will never be the same!
It would be a good time for friends to call and say their last goodbyes.
Without HIM where would we be now!
But Oh the sweet HOPE!!!! Reunions are coming!

UPDATES from Phil Oct.7th,2011 informed late evening
To our dearest friends in the Lord, Plz pray,
Stephanie is struggling under an incredible amount of pain.
 The hospice Dr increased the pain medication by 225% today
and she is still so very uncomfortable and is asking the Lord to
 "please take me home Jesus!" Thank you for all of your
thoughts and prayers toward us at this most difficult time.
*****************
Update on Oct.8,2011 at 8:00am I was informed that Stephanie
went home to be with her Lord this morning at approx.4:50 am.
Please keep my brother Phil,their children,grandchildren,
and all loved ones including their church congregation
(my brother Phil pastors)in your thoughts and prayers.
Her departing for all is both sweet and bitter,not wanting
her to suffer any longer yet she will be so sadly missed.
I know my Brother sowed into heaven his greatest seed today
sacrificially.
