We praise the Lord for the life that John chose and that that choice brought him into a close relationship with his Heavenly Father. His service to the Lord will give him a wonderful crown to cast at Jesus feet when Christ returns. That is the best and greatest joy that anyone can know. Loving Jesus was central to John and he shared that love and his desire for others to KNOW his Savior. Our prayer is that any who do not know Christ and serve him will come to know him in honor of John's life on earth.
We offer our condolences for the family who will miss him and pray that they will cling to the joyous times with him whenever they find themselves downcast. Knowing Christ will bring peace in times of grief and gives the assurance that you will be with John again when Christ returns. Those who believe and serve Jesus and the Father will be privileged to be in his presence together for eternity.
May the love and strength of the Holy Spirit be yours today and for all the rest of your life.
Dearest Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the provilege of knowing you and your servant John. Help us to make you as high a priority in our lives as he was in John's life. Bless and comfort each member of the family and fill them with your love and hope.
In Jesus name, Amen.##imported-begin##Mitchell Powell, Donna Powell, Brenda & Jim Weller##imported-end##
