April 4

[Pastor Don]

I find myself at a loss as to how to begin this post, so my I just say that once again I need prayer support and covering.

As many of you will remember, it was two years ago today at 6:30pm that I recieved the news about my nephew and his death. This was then followed up on the sixth with my Mom breaking her femur and the eventual death of my Dad on the eighth.

...Then tonight, at 6:30pm my Mom's doctor walked in and told us that she has an advanced stage of lukemia. With the fact that she is 70+ years of age and a COPD patient, he said that there was very little they could do other than offer supportive treatment. He went on to say that we were dealing with a matter of months.

I am not sure why, but it seems that April 4th is cursed for me. In fact, I am getting to the point that I am thinking of petitioning congress for the entire month of April to be stricken from the calander. But then I have no doubt that satan would just unleash his posion on another day.

But then I come to the end of the day, and I remember the prayers, and support of my family, (you, the Family of God) and I remember how that God gave me peace that passes all understanding. Then once again my spirit is reminded that His grace is sufficent. Sufficent to give peace to my troubled mind, sufficent to carry me throuh the heart-ache, and most assuredly sufficent to sustain my hope.

Thank you in advance for your prayers, and please know that this "little brother" loves and cherishes each of you.

In the grip of HIS grace...

Bro Don,

I remember meeting your mom at the Jude2 gathering... she is a precious person. God is still at work, do not doubt but believe. She is in His care as are all of you. I am praying for your family.

In Jesus, Jennifer Smith

I have some anniversary dates that are not kind to me either.

I know how you feel and the anticipation as those dates approach.

There is nothing that will insulate us from tough situations. It would be nice if there were. But, we are fallen people living in a fallen world.

I know you know that a day or date cannot be "cursed" , but the pain we suffer is real.

Know that April 4 from this day forward can be a day of victory! Let God ARISE and be lifted up!!!!

HIs power to heal and deliver cannot be "cursed". Live in that faith.

God bless you. We are praying for the family.

I'm praying for your Mom and for you. I too have anniversary dates that bring me great sorrow, but with prayer and God's grace I am able to get through them and I know He will be with you and your Mom throughout this time.
