Last night our beautiful sister Aling went to be with our
Lord Jesus at 11:00 pm on Mother’s Day.
It is 11 months almost exactly to the day since Aling was in
hospital and they got the news that her cancer was untreatable. These last 11
months are full of precious memories for Ronnie and her family and they passed
as comfortably as could have been possible, a beautiful brother in the Lord who
is a great Doctor, supplied medicine for her palliative care that kept her pain
to a minimum. We saw her just 3 weeks and 2 days ago and she was still able to
laugh, to eat, to cuddle her grandsons, to sit up, to change her own clothes,
to talk to us……..God has been so wonderful to her and to us.
Before we left Lapoc three weeks ago, Ronnie asked us to
please thank you for praying for him and for Aling. He testified that your
prayers strengthened them greatly.
We praise Our Lord Jesus that He died for us and that He
does everything for His glory. He is our blessed hope and our anchor.

Thessalonians 4:13–18 (ESV)
The Coming of
the Lord
13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers,
about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no
hope. 14 For since we believe that
Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him
those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare
to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the
coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a
cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the
trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will
always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage
one another with these words.
Amen!!!
