Sadness and Joy

Two weeks ago we lost a special member of our congregation. Our friend Holly Moore had only been diagnosed with cancer a little over a month before he passed away at the Chalmers hospital. Many of us got to share treasured times with Holly and Louise and the rest of the family during his hospital stay, and Holly will definitely be missed. He was a great worker around the church and was an ambassador of real joy in the Lord both at church and during his illness. Holly's testimony of God's grace and provision in hard times and his complete trust in him for everything he needed in life was an example to all of us. I know I'm going to miss Holly, but it's such a joy to know that he is with the Lord right now and that we will one day all be joined together again in the resurrection and the new heaven and earth.
