It is with a heavy heart that I write the column this week.

Last week we buried my dear husband. He had been sick for a number of years and resided in a care facility where he received the care I could not give him at home any more.

He was longing to be with Jesus and just a few minutes before his death I read to him Habakkuk 1:2, just one line “How long Lord …….” and the Lord took him home. His heart just stopped.

It will take time to grieve and able to let go and get on with living. My husband farmed for 62 years and loved every minute of it. Farming is now finished for him. He loved to sing and will now be singing with the angels in glory.

May this little message be a thought for all of us that life does not end with death but can be a beginning of life eternal.
