Uncle Joe went to be with the Lord on Friday, March 7, 2008. His family was with him, he was comfortable..in peace, and just waiting for his call.
It is amazing to me how God can take hurt and turn it into something far bigger than you could have imagined when it all began. Joe's life touched many lives, and his passing has and will continue to do the same. So many lives are being reconciled even right now through the passing of Joe.
As I see the fresh grief and pain in his family, of losing someone you love, I cannot help but be brought to think of God's pain in giving the life of His Son, for us. To reconcile us to Him. He didn't have to, but that is how much He loves each and every one of us. It was a huge sacrifice, the blood of Jesus was spilled for all of us our of pure love. He took on every sin, He bore them, He paid the price...in many ways, even humanly, He paid with His own grief and pain. Never forget how much that had to of crushed God's own heart.
Dear God, thank you for Joe~ thank you for blessing him and through him, blessing us! Thank you for giving us eternal life through your Son.. so that we can be reconciled to you and be reconciled to Joe.
