gone home to a better place.

the news is heartbreaking..... a son and a daughter have lost their father. a wife has lost her husband, the one she has spent most of her life with...... the one whom she smiled and laughed with as they watched their children grow up. Lord, You know their grief.... Lord, hold them together i pray... aunty, des, janet, san...... especially aunty..... God, thank you that they were all there by his side...... having those he loved right beside him as he breathed his last must have been the most comforting thought....... knowing that his life had been surrounded with people who loved him and people he loved.

just last sunday we saw uncle in hospital. he was talking with us, he watched the east timor video, he asked us if it was dangerous in east timor.... it really didn't seem like he would have gone home to be with the Lord just after one week.... we were talking to des yesterday and found out that uncle was unconscious. despite the tough situation, des still said he's trusting God, step by step........ and today..... the news that uncle has passed away...... uncle's in a better place now...... a place where he can finally see his Maker face to face....... be their comfort Lord.....

help me to trust.
