Sunday Afternoon
Greetings:
Praise the Lord – Marty WON her year long (almost five year long) struggle with breast cancer and AML by going to be with the Lord eternally this morning at 8:30 am Eastern Day Light Savings Time. The very end was very peaceful with three short breaths and then much deserved peace and rest. Praise the Lord!
The publication I did before this one at 5:00 am pretty much tells about yester-day and the events of the night. The three and a half hours in between were much of the same: Marty was not responding and breathing pretty deep. She wanted a WIN to her struggle so much, and since she was not able to get it through medical science she was ready to get the WIN with her Lord and that she has. Praise the Lord! God is good – all the time! All the time – God is good!
As we enter into this new week, we as the family and friends of Marty, we do so with our lives feeling different, with a hole in them, with an empty spot, with another change in our lives that affects us at different levels. But, we do so with at least two things in common: 1.) we are hurting because we will miss Marty, and 2.) we are strengthened, guided, encouraged, loved, and supported by a gracious God who has been with us and will be with us as we grieve and adjust to the death of Marty. So, we are WINNERS too because we have the opportunity to strengthen our relationship with God during this time. Praise the Lord! That is without a doubt what I want to do and I hope that you will do it as well. As God is constantly revealing Himself to us, we are never in a situation when we do not have the opportunity to grow spiritually and strengthen our relationship with God. I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to the glory of God.
When it comes to the life of Martha (“Marty”) May Veenis Hess we have a lot to celebrate and to thank and praise God for. She was indeed a faithful servant of God’s and true “Biblical Martha”. In order to celebrate her life there will be a time of visitation with the family on Friday, August 17, 2007 from 2 to 8 pm at the First Presbyterian Church, 102 West Main Street, Peru, IN. And a service of celebration, thanksgiving, and praise to the Lord will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, August 18, 2007 at First Presbyterian Church, 102 West Main Street, Peru, IN. There will also be a grave side service at 3:00 pm at the Riverside Cemetery, South Clinton Street, Defiance, OH and a time of visitation with the family at First Presbyterian Church, 501 Washington Street, Defiance, OH following the grave side service.
May you have a positive day and God bless.
