Those of my readers who read my post, “Not A Spot of Unforgiveness” were most likely captivated by the captioned picture of the girl with a stunning gaze that I put at the end of the post. Well, I just received news that one of this dear girl’s elder male siblings passed away.
The members of this family are members of our church in Musoma, and they are an extremely lovely family. I had visited with them and I was struck by the distance they have to walk to come to church. But they never miss a service, even the mid-week ones. This is one family that has taught me that “the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force” (Mat. 11:12).
This family has always been on my heart, and after hearing the sad news I knew I had to pay tribute to the little boy who went to be with the Lord (for he died in the Lord), and to this very courageous family.
May the Lord remember them! May He bless them! May His face shine upon them evermore!
[Below: A few pictures of this very special family]
Here, the mother and two of her children (there are 3 more, one of whom has gone to be with the Lord)
The road leading from their home to distant church… but they never miss a service!
My heart goes out to the mother and the family. God be with each of them.
Amen. Thank you.
Grace and peace to all who are touched by this. I weep with those weep…
Amen.
It has been more than a week. How is everyone doing?
We are all right David, just dealing with responsibilities
God go with you.
Thank you.
