Precious in the sight of the Lord

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. 

Psalm 116:14

Tonight I learned of the passing of a dear friend.  Jim was a servant.  A prayerful man, a kind hearted friend, a generous and godly saint.  He touched our lives in deep and lasting ways.  Jim was the pray-er for an entire community--Medina, Ohio.  When trials, or illness, or death touched a family, Jim was there.  He was there for us when our family was in need.  Who will be there the next time someone is in need and thinks, "We'll call Jim; he'll come."

O LORD, truly he was Your servant and now You have loosed his bonds.

This evening, I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

Thank you, Lord, for Jim.

There is rejoicing in Heaven for a precious Saint has come home! Praise God for those prayer warriors who have touched the lives of so many. They are a special lot. My deepest sympathy for your loss Kim.
Who will stand in his place? The Lord knows.
