Hello After Goodbye

I know I've been an absentee blogger this week.  It has not been intentional, I just haven't had it in me to write much.

This week our church has been preparing for the memorial service for one of our own.  Bro. Nembro Tarazon was a great man.  He loved his family and his church.  He would help anyone at anytime.  He loved God!  He settled it many years ago and it didn't change.  He led his family in serving God.

He had a quirky sense of humor that often left you wondering - did he really just say that?  One time he left an "anonymous" comment on a Friday Foodie post that said, "Here is a link for inspiration to eat healthy...http://thisiswhyyourrefat.com"  Wait?  He thinks I'm fat?  After talking to his wife about it, then scolding him while he laughed, he left another comment - "thanks for letting the French fries out of the bag, PAL... LOL"

We will miss him around Victory Tabernacle.  It won't be the same.  But we don't sorrow for him - he made it!  It just gives us one more person to look for when we get around the throne.

To his precious family, I am praying for you daily.  I love each of you.  There is a hello waiting some beautiful morning.

There is a hello after goodbye, a blessed reunion, promised in time
We will be with them far longer than we were without
No doubt, no more tears in our eyes
In that beautiful, wonderful, hello after goodbye

My heart goes out to the family during this hard time. Yes, he is in a better place, but the family.....I know he'll be missed greatly.

Love and prayers.

Yes, it's the family that hurts. His pain is completely wiped away. Thank you for your prayers.
