Mari Anne

About 8 years ago I met Mari Anne. At the time she was in confined to a bed in the nursing home across the street from where I worked.

A dear lady who I looked up to for her patience and joy in the midst of a difficult situation.

Over the years every Monday evening a group of us would go over and sing for the residents at the nursing home and before leaving visit with Mari Anne--We would sing a hymn and pray with her. One memorable time I asked her if she would pray for us. What a blessing.

This last Monday when we came and sang Mr. fowler told us that she was not doing well and they did not expect her to live very long. So after singing to the main group we went in to see her. She could barley open her eyes and whisper to her son that was there. We sang "It is Well With My Soul" and she mouthed the words with us. Then she kept saying something and after a few minutes her son understood she wanted the pictures she had recieved from all the people going over to Manor Care over the years to go back to them. She wanted to leave something for them to remember her by.
I have not cried so much since Mr. Martin died 5 years ago. Here this lady who will be in the presence of Jesus shortly is thinking about those who she loved and wanted to leave something for them. Before we left I told Mari Anne "It has been a joy to be able to come over here every Monday." Her son thanked us for loving his mother when he was down in Oklahoma.

That was Monday.

Tuesday was my 30th birthday and Mari Anne went home to Jesus around 6:00 in the morning. She had fought a good fight she had run the race there is laid up for her a crown of righteousness. I'm so happy for her being with Jesus, with Mr. Martin, with Grandpa Lundberg and all the other ones who have gone before.

It remains for us to cary on to work while we still can. To be the light that shines in the darkness. To never look back at the world but press on looking to Jesus. Who knows how long any of us has or the ability to walk or use our hands. Mari Anne could do neither for many years and yet she still shone for Jesus. She had beuty in her heart. "Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in mine infirmities that the power of Christ might rest upon me."

Our life is a vapour it appears for a little while and then vanashes.

Mr. Jensen home with the Lord.

Today Mr. Jenson finished his race here on earth and went to be with the Lord.

It was amazing how much there was to learn from this dear man of God. The testimony of his life, love for his wife, family and tutoring of the Matthew boys. Several times over the years he took the time to explain how something worked. And then to look at the projects he always had going on.

2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a  place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

I Thes 4:13-18 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
