We are so thankful that because of God's Grace we will see Shawn's dad again in heaven.
"But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

A Sad Morning
During our devotions this morning, Shawn got news that his dad had passed away. This wasn't a surprise but still very sad. Shawn's dad has been dealing with cancer for about 16 months now and before we left for Rwanda, he wasn't expected to even last the week. He was in a lot of pain and at times frightened and confused (due to the pain medication). So, it is a relief that he is without pain and now with his Saviour--Praise God. He would have liked to meet his new grandson and was so excited to see pictures and videos of Innocent (we even made a video of Innocent saying "hi grandpa").

Oh Juanita and Shawn I am so sorry for your loss. It must have been very hard to get that news from so far away. Thank goodness he is at peace and comfortable now though. (HUGS)
ReplyDeleteThanks Hollie. Not a surprise, but it's still hard to deal with at such a distance. We're hoping to be able to make it home for the memorial in mid June. Thanks :)
