Beloved of All
Dear Prayer Partners My great uncle Tobe Jernigan, passed away over the weekend. He was 85, and will be greatly missed. I wish I could have went to Tennessee, to the funeral, but with my circumstances at home, I could not go and this saddens me. I was talking to Austin and I was upset that I couldn't go out of respect for my Uncle, and for my family, and just overall upset. Austin said to me and he has never went to a funeral, I quote "Mom, Don't Cry, We should be Celebrating, He is with the Lord, and the Good Long Life he has lived. He understands, and We will see him someday". I said with tears coming more and more after hearing these sweet, comforting words come out of my son that is 9. I said to him Yes, Son you are right. I explained why you go to funerals out of respect, etc, and that he has not ever been to one, and it is different when you see the person you love not alive. He said To me again and I quote, "Mom, that is his Body, that is not him, he is with the Lord in Heaven. He knows you want to come and that you loved him and I loved him too. Don't worry Mom, he knows" Thank you Lord for my son Austin, you have given to me. I know he has a direct connection to you Lord, for if it were not for Your Love and Healing Touch on him, he himself, would not be here today. I Praise You Lord, I know you will use Austin to do great things for You, in his life. I wish we all had a child's view, and just don't question You Lord, and we just accept whatever is Your Will, Lord. Protect Austin Lord and Comfort all of my family today. In Jesus Name Amen
