I want everyone to know that I have just read through the thread again. Through the story,
the events, and it brought back the memories. Tears came to my eyes as I read. Not only
about Eddie and me, but about each one of you who are still running your race.
It still just breaks my heart to remember and have the knowledge of your struggles. Physical,
finantial, and each relationship that is being taxed beyond measure. To hear the continual
stories just breaks my heart.
I used to tell Eddie's son, "One day you will look back and realize that it was like a vapor, it
appeared only for a while." Today we visit that statement, and we do realize that, in the
crucible it seems like a life time, but after we have been tempered, we are stronger than
ever.
The sun still came up the next day, as it will when I lay down this earthly tent, that God has
given to me. Life will go on. The Bible says; "It is appointed unto man, once to die, after that
the judgment." We don't get to decide after we die. We must decide now.
Thank you each one for your prayers and thoughts. I do feel like I know most of you pretty good.
I would love to look into your eyes and communicate the appreciation that Eddie and I have for
each one of you.
Jesus said; Come unto me all you who are burdened and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
And we did!
All our love to you and your families.
Eddie and Jim
