Jesus Welcomes All Of Us...

Lord Jesus, You are the God of all creation, but you also became a man of sorrows and aquainted with grief, so you could identify with our suffering. You have suffered loss, and You understand our pain in times of suffering. - God, Your word says, 'You are a very present help in times of trouble...' David's Family & Friends need Your help right now, for this is a time of trouble for them. Please comfort them with Your Presence. - I ask that you would lift the heaviness of their hearts, and that You would bear their burden of sorrow and begin to exchange it for peace and hope. Father, shower them with unexpected tokens of Your love, so they would know how much You really do care. - God, we do not understand suffering, but we are grateful that You have promised to be with us in the midst of it. Let Your words be a comfort to Digs, Susie, & the rest of David's family in this time of tears. 'Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.' In Jesus mighty name. Amen
Mr. & Mrs. Hall, You do not know me, I received an e-mail by way of family & friends, who thought I might have a few things to share, since my husband & I lost our 18 year old son, almost 11 weeks ago. No parent should ever have to say good bye to their children. And although your son is no longer physically here on Earth, he will be in your heart forever! I still cry everyday for my own son & I know a 79 year old Father who still cries everyday for his 18 year old son, who died 40 years ago... Mr. & Mrs. Hall, it's not gonna be easy! Losing a child never is... Keep thinking of David & know that he is with the Lord & the rest of your family who has gone on before him... For us... to get through each day, we put up a ton of photos of our son, in his old bedroom; hung up a couple of his favorite shirts; Post Letters, Notes, & Photos on his Legacy page; & well we just never stop thinking about him. However, You have to do what's best for YOU! We'll be praying for you & the rest of your family... Here are a few web-sites that have been Very Helpful to us... (http://www.compassionatefriends.org) (http://www.webhealing.com) (http://www.centerforloss.com)
At our Youngest Son's Memorial Service, our Middle Son stood up & said: "... I came up with a good analogy on why my Mom called a thousand people that 1st day & why all of us here are gonna go home & tell someone else & why I'm standing here telling all of you. -->Greggy dying was like us, our family receiving a 50,000 Slice Pizza. It'll take a long time for us to eat that pizza, it's gonna give us a lot of heartburn, and a lot of stomach aches. But every time I talk about it, it's like giving you a slice. It doesn't mean that when we're done with that pizza it's gone, It just means that it'll be a lot easier to swallow. Right here, I'm giving away a lot of pizza. It doesn't make that 50,000 number any smaller, but it does in the long run... Every time I think about him, Every time I turn to my girlfriend & tell her that story that I just thought about, I'm giving her another piece, She's gonna have a little bit of Heart-burn in the process, but the point is, It's gonna go away..." - He then shared with us a few memories, that was able to make us all laugh & then he said: - "... I'm glad I was able to give each one of you a piece of Pizza today... Thank You all for Being here"
I hope that helps in it's own way...
We'll be Praying for you all & If you ever wanna talk, contact me...
God Bless,

July 2, 2010
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hall and family: I don't know if you remember me - I was David's Guidance Counselor when he was in middle school. As I know you raised him to be, he was always a very nice young man. The last time I saw him was at the car wash where he worked - still the nicest young man.
"Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted". Matthew 5:4
You all are in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Camellia Thompson
