A day of grieving and rejoicing

Yesterday a little girl who lived at Good Shepherd's Fold named Tiny Rose passed away. She was a girl with special needs who was well loved. We never got to know Tiny Rose since we have only been here a week, but many who knew her were both sad and happy. It was often said today that Tiny Rose is running and dancing in heaven, things she was not able to do here on earth. Please pray for the GSF family while they grieve and celebrate Tiny Rose going home. In a place where sickness and death are common, our longing for heaven is a more tangible thing. 

Revelation 21:3-5 says, "And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Behold, the dwelling of God is with men, and He will be with them, and they will be His people, and God himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain for these things have passed away.'" 
What good news! We look forward to that day. Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

  1. David and Lisa - our family considers it a privilege to intercede for you! Mia is praying for Zeke; Lydia- Ezra; Wesley-Elijah; Hailey-Esther. We've started checking your blog regularly and love getting the updates! We will pray for GSF as they are missing sweet Tiny. Our hearts are breaking but rejoicing she is dancing in Heaven now!
