The new year started. All was going as planned. Staying on top of Bible reading, memorization and blogging. Then one phone call changed it all. Like Preacher Dale is always saying. My brother is no longer with us. I know he is in heaven. I have my good days and my bad days. Just missing him. The hardest thing is knowing I can't ever talk with him again and knowing I am not going to see him anymore. I am happy for him that he is in Heaven.
This is my remembrance table for him. These were all of his favorite things.
The things I want to remember most about my brother Steven:
Kind Heart Jack of all trades
Giving Good with animals
Funny Trained my dog
Smart He could draw
My Second verse for Scripture memory is Psalm 62:8
TRUST IN HIM at ALL times; ye people. Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah
I am trusting God even in the death of my brother. God knows all about it. I am pouring out my heart to God about all that I feel. I know that I have to grieve and that one day it will get easier. I am thankful to have been able to call Steven my brother. I loved him dearly. One day we will meet up again. His journey here on earth has ended. My Journey here on earth has many things that I still need to do. So I will focus on these things with the Lord's help.
