THE FINISH LINE

” HE WILL WIPE EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES, AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE DEATH OR SORROW OR CRYING OR PAIN. ALL THESE THINGS ARE GONE FOREVER.” REVELATION 21:4

Today’s message becomes extremely personal for me. As many of you know my son Michael Scott has fought the battle with brain cancer for the past two years. As a born-again Christian he has always been close to the Lord. His faith has always been strong and his love for others has been unwavering. That battle ended yesterday. That long and faithful battle ended with a tear from his eyes followed with a large smile, as he met with all of his grandparents and others who have gone before him. He no longer is in pain. He is no longer in sorrow, and that tear in his eyes has been wiped away by the Lord. He has always been a standard in our family. Our three girls looked up to him and continue to love him very much as do Jane and me. He began a new family with his wife Angela and her two daughters Hayden and Loren. They became a part of him, and they are now a part of us. He was the beginning of our family and will always be the beginning. The memories will keep him alive in our hearts and we will continue to live our lives as though he is right beside us. He is in heaven today rejoicing with all of his family there. We love you Michael and we will see you soon. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
