Uplook - November 9, 2024

Good morning from Arkansas,

Lori and I are returning today from a funeral of one of our beloved ministers who went to be with the Lord recently.  I was struck by the impact this godly woman had not only on her family but on those across the globe. She was truly a great woman and it was measured in much deeper ways than just those valued by society.  Raised in a prominent family, she was educated and professional and committed but beyond that, she was humble, loving, loyal, and served others well.  This great woman met a great God who transformed her life and hence many lives around her.   She suffered greatly in the last few years but even that with amazing dignity.  Please pray for her family during this time of loss.    In the words of a song quoted at the funeral yesterday, “Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful.  May the fire of our devotion light their way.  May the footprints that we leave, cause them to believe and the lives we live inspire them to obey. Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful.  That is my prayer and I trust it is yours as well.
