Yesterday was my 47th birthday. I spent it at the Memorial Service for my sister in-law's Dad, who was truly a very special man, who loved the Lord, and his family, and was honored very well by many grown men who he coached on a 1966 National Championship team, and also by his son and his son in-law, my brother. He was actually my sister-in-law's step dad, but she lost her dad in a coal mining accident when she was 5, so this special man was her dad for the past 30 years. I also enjoyed the day, getting lots of loving from my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter.I treated my self earlier in the week by buying Kelly Minter's CD, Loss, Love & Legacy. I have enjoyed listening to the whole CD over and over. I especially like the song Loss, Love & Legacy. Life truly is just that! We all experience loss of some kind. Hopefully, we all experience true love, God's love, and hopefully we all desire to leave a lasting Legacy, pointing others to God.

I'm sorry for you loss. This book seem like it would be a good one, along with the study. Were looking for a new book for our ladies class, I will have to suggest this.

Happy Belated Birthday Sandy! You are a blessing!
ReplyDeleteI will say a prayer for your family during this time of loss.
Glad you're enjoying the CD. I'm still praying about what Bible Study to tackle this summer. Not feeling led towards Ruth, but we'll see!
Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday..I never heard of Kelly Minter but have been listening since you posted here. Powerful. Thanks for this. He's a new favorite of mine. Have the best weekend....
ReplyDeleteIsn't God faithful? In times of loss and sadness He provides us with His Word and the opportunity to communicate with other believer's who hunger for the Word. The Bible Study group sounds awesome. Be comforted and know His peace.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Sandy! I picked up my Ruth book at LPL a couple weekends ago. My mom and I are going to do it together, but I would love to join you on-line for this study. I can't wait to get started!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Sandy. I went to Kelly's site and listened to the song. I had never heard it before. It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing this information.

ReplyDeleteLike Charlotte, I just spent time listening to Kelly's message ... then several more -I'm hooked!
Thank you for helping share her message, and may your "new year" bring you many blessings.

ReplyDeleteI too now love that song. Thank you for the link.
Prayers and blessings for your SIL's loss of her dad. He sounds like someone I would have admired.
