Gentle mentor...

Gentle mentor....

Yesterday, a friend passed away quietly, quickly..slipping into his eternal reward...to walk those streets of gold...I could picture people he has mentored, known welcoming him to the place that needs no light...shaking his hand like men do...or hugs , a slap in the back, smiles all around...I could see my husband there among the crowd as well...what a reunion...unending joy...

His quiet demeanor, humble ways in awe of this new home..."  So this is what we having been waiting for, wow"...

Always a lover of nature and the outdoors, teaching others that same love, his family as well...

When my husband was close to entering heaven, he made a special out of the way trip to encourage him, shake his hand, give a gentle smile, say a prayer...that was his way...thank you

I know his wife will miss him as well as his son and daughter, but those grandchildren will miss that gentleness...that gentle mentor his was...

Farewell, we say, not knowing how long it will be before we make that same journey...looking to the light, but leaving behind those who grieve...

Thank YOU for the various people You put in our paths...each has a special place along the way...

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Psalm 16:11

Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
Psalm 21:6

It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it.
3 John 1:3

23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
Matthew 25:23
