In Memory of a Saint

In Memory of a Saint

This past week a person close to our family passed away and joined the ranks of those that have gone to be with the Lord. After a long valiant struggle with cancer, the Lord invited her to his Kingdom where all sorrow and difficulty is gone. A place where faith is fully realized and those that receive Christ as the their Savior live forever with God in His Kingdom.

She was 54 She came from a family that loved the Lord and dedicated their lives in reaching people with the message of Jesus Christ.

I am writing this email I'm honor of this person that lived her life to honor God in her life and actions and in her death here on earth would want to make it clear to as many people possible that there is hope eternal in Jesus Christ.

John 14:6 says Jesus said "I am the way , the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me. ".

Romans 3:23 says " For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternnal life through Jesus Christ our Lord "

I know many who read this email have lost loved ones in difficult circumstances at times. I also know that in Christ we have a hope that beats death. While death is a short separation here, it is not eternal separation from God to those that acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

John 1:12 says "But as many as received Him to them gave he the power to become the Children of God"

I am crossing traditional email boundries with this email because the life of this person and her family compels me to. God crossed the boundries of heaven to reach us through His Son Jesus. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the World that he gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. "

I hope that the message you get from this email is that you matter to God and there is nothing God desires more than a personal relationship with you.

Thank you Karen McFadden and family for your eternal investment into the lives of others on behalf of Christ And thank you McFadden family and Koerner family for impacting so many people with the Gospel of our Lord. I pray this message brings a blessing to you in honor of your daughter, wife , mother, and friend.

Peace to all and pass this on.
