Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints

The death of a loved one brings great sorrow to those of us left behind, but the death of a child of God takes them where their heavenly family is, and that is a place of great joy, where suffering is over.

weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning.
Psalm 30:5
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints
. . . thou hast loosed my bonds.
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
Psalm 116:15-17

I am so thankful the Lord brought Jade Mangini, Sally's son, into our lives, and am so thankful we had the opportunity to share the glorious gospel of Christ with him, pray with him, and watch him take joy last Christmas season in his son Aiden's role in the Christmas story play at church.

Our Calvary Chapel Space Coast family had to say good-bye to Tina, brother Mike, and Bobbi last year, and here we are saying good-bye to Jade. We will miss him. We will have a memorial service this Saturday at 2:00 p.m. at the church.

Be praying for Sally and Aiden and their family,
Yours in Christ,
Pastor B.
