Your love one's legacy

Dear Leo and family,
My heart goes out to you for the loss of Betty and to your family. Surely, for all of you she was the godly woman with her character like that described in Proverbs 31:10-31.

At times like this I think of how truly, hopeless we would be without Christ. How does one handle a loss like this without His comfort and promises?

I am so grateful He died on the cross to give us life, to provide hope and comfort in the face of indiscernible lost.

It says somewhere in the Psalms, “that precious to the Lord is the death of one of His saints,” so while we can take comfort in that she is with the Lord, we also grieve because she is no longer with us.

Ah, but she has left a legacy- how many souls have come to the Lord who were led there by (her son) John, by you and the rest of the family? In addition, how many have these people brought to the Lord? There are things we’ll never know – until one day we meet them all.

Words are empty now, I know, but I know and pray that in this time of grief for you and your family, at some time, in some way, the Lord will meet you to comfort your hearts and help you through this in some marvelous way.

The Lord has taught us and has shown us that love is eternal and thanks to Jesus, so is abundant life. At these times, we come to know even more the value of His gift of love and life.

There is sorrow at night but great joy cometh in the morning.
Love in Christ,
Tom Mc Inerney
