What a blessing that you came to the Lord through your dear Uncle Spike, and I know his passing must really leave a hole in your life, yet, we are so thankful for another faithful saint who has made it home! What a precious legacy he left behind, and the influence of his life on yours and your family! I know that you have passed on that legacy to your children and grandchildren, they are blessed indeed to have such a precious saint in the Lord to call their mother and grandmother! Hugs for you today dear friend, may the Lord comfort your heart with special memories as you walk through this time of grief.

What a blessing to have you share it - my heart was beautifully refreshed this bright Monday morning... Thank you for always seeking to inspire others to a closer walk with Christ... You have encouraged my heart greatly!<br /><br />How special that your uncle was so steadfast in his faith and made sure he told everyone around him of the redemptive love of a Saviour! Oh, Debbie...how sad for you to lose him, but I am sure in your heart of hearts you are rejoicing that he has been rewarded and that he is resting with the King in Eternity!<br /><br />How true the verse that talks. about keeping a merry heart... My sisters and I often sing something that goes like this... ''A joyful heart is good medicine, good medicine, a joyful heart''. It was set to music by Steve Green and is great to sing when someone is feeling down or discouraged. A joyful heart does wonders...<br /><br />I must be off now to see to some morning chores but oh! I have a spring in my step...I serve a risen, wonderful King! What a blessing!<br /><br />Sending love and smiles your way, Debbie!<br />Kelly-AnneKelly-Anne ♥ The Diary of a Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302889010690025224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562093136200114577.post-50662747512356528862016-08-07T18:26:11.414-06:002016-08-07T18:26:11.414-06:00Debbie,

You know how to say just the right thing at just the right moment and I know that is because of your close walk and relationship with the Lord.<br /><br />I know Uncle Spike meant a great deal to you and I know you will miss him... I am glad he shared his love for the Savior with you...he has left a legacy behind. Because of his testimony and willingness to share the Gospel with you you accepted the Lord as your Savior and because I have a father who is also a believer I was blessed to grow up in a home that was founded on God's principles and His Truth. It's truly amazing to see how people in our lives play such important roles.<br /><br />Thinking of you!
