Light Posting For The Next Few Days
BY Herschel Smith
5 years ago
It’s been a season of loss for me. First, my job at the end of 2018. Then my beloved dog of ten years, on New Year’s eve.
Today I lost my precious father, who passed away at 5:15 pm. But the great thing is that he knew the Lord, so I will see him in heaven. I will be posting, but it will be light. I must focus on other things. As always, talk to each other in the comments.

It’s hard when you lose your Dad.
But as you said, it’s great he knew the Lord.
I’m reminded by your post of my Dad who passed on years before. His care and love for us, his efforts to guide us, and instruct us from the Word of God.

Herschel,
I pray the LORD to give you wisdom above all things, and comfort in this time, and if there be any among your tribe who know not the LORD, that they would be found, born again into the Kingdom of God through this trial, for may it be a time of expressing the great hope that your father and you have in Christ the resurrected Son of God. May the Father and God of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ give you all comfort by His Holy Spirit in the knowledge that we fear not the first death, and the second never comes. Amen.

Herschel –
When my dad (Korea War vet, church Deacon/Elder) was on his death bed, I let him know that he had been the best father a son could have. He responded that I was the best son he could have asked for as a father.
I trust your relationship with your father was similar. I am sorry for your loss.

Captain, as the others, prayers for you and your family. I lost my Dad in 2013 after a protracted illness. He was a disciple of Christ and lived everyday shining the light of Jesus – even in a especially during his illness. A blessing indeed to have assurance your departed loved one is resting in the bosom of Yahweh.
