CALVARY CHURCH WEEKLY NEWS |
|
|
Since the sudden death of our son, Christopher, I have reflected much on grief. For all of my adult life, I have dealt with grief and sudden death, and I have tried to help families cope with losing a loved one. So grief and death have been a significant part of my life.
But dealing with the grief of my son dying is a devastating experience. How do Gudny and I face the future on this earth knowing that never again will we celebrate our son’s birthday or spend a vacation or Christmas or Thanksgiving with him? Life is forever changed. Yet, we have not lost our faith which remains strong in our loving and Almighty Savior. We do grieve but not as those who have no hope.
On Sunday, I am planning to preach a special message on “Grief and Hope.” Many of you know about profound grief. I trust that what I share will not only be instructive and comforting but will provide a strong anchor when the bitterly cold winds of death and loss hit you with the force of a hurricane. Tell others about this message, and join us as we worship God at 9:45 AM.
