This morning my uncle Randy died. He was in a bicycling accident in a race he was competing in on the morning of June 26th, 2011. After falling off his bike, he suffered major trauma to his brain that left him in a coma. This morning, nearly seven weeks after the accident, he went home to be with the Lord.
My heart is grieving for my Aunt Lisa, my cousins Sam and Allan and the rest of Randy's family and friends. He was so full of life. Randy's presence was always made immediately known with a huge smile and a booming voice. He was friendly, opinionated, outgoing, and gutsy. Please lift up his family in your prayers.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 says Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Without the work of Jesus Christ, there would be no hope. But there IS hope because of what He did for all of us on the cross. I rejoice that Uncle Randy was a believer and was received into His glorious kingdom, welcomed into the loving arms of the Father.
Psalm 30:5 says Weeping may last for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
