Juliet I am sorry for your loss as well I will be praying for your son and your family as well as all the other intentions on this thread.
Millie and Bob,
My heart and prayers go out to you in the loss of your son, Phil, to the terrible ravages of cancer. May he and my own son, who suffered greatly and died August 2nd - dance together with all our other loved ones in the joy and peace of God’s love - they have fought the good fight and won peace everlasting.
And we who are left - how can we influence the lives of their offspring and other loved ones? By living life with Christ as our role model. WE cannot preach and obtain what we desire, but we can pray and live our lives in such a way - that others too will want the joy, peace and celebration we exemplify with our efforts to strive toward perfection.
There is much sorrow in the loss of loved ones, but let us try to celebrate their lives and rejoice that they are free of pain and are where we all long to be - safe in the arms of Christ and His mother. By loving people just as they are - totaling accepting them whatever their choices, we can exemplify how Christ loves us. Love your daughter-in-law as she is - by accepting her, you will give her the freedom to make choices that may bring her closer to our loving Father. As you love their Mother, your grandchildren too will be influenced by your show of strength, love and support.
In peace,
Julett
