Today is Friday, September 24th, 2004; Karen's Korner #380

This is something which I received this week, written by Wilma Gamblin. For those of you who live in or near Clarion, she and her husband lived in Clarion for a handful of years while her husband was the pastor of the Nazarene Church here.

Several comments by Wilma and then her writing:

Our 34 year old son, Keith Daniel Gamblin, Sr. went to be with the Lord on Good Friday, 4-9-2004, twelve hours after being injured at work. He was preparing to complete his education to enter full-time ministry with his wife Jodie and five children, ages 4 to 14.

 

SUBMISSION

Through our tears we submit to YOUR will, FATHER.

YOU did not ask us to choose.

With empty arms and aching hearts, we say,

“Not our will, but YOURS, LORD.”

Though we cannot see YOUR plan,

We know we are in the palm of YOUR Almighty hand.

Our precious loved one is entrusted

To YOUR loving care.

Because of who YOU are, we are secure and know

YOU are working YOUR higher way.

‘YOUR ways are higher than our ways,’

And we submit to YOUR way.

WE praise you, FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT!

We exalt the Name of JESUS.

YOU are all-wise, all-powerful and everywhere.

We bless YOUR name, JESUS! YOU are GOD!!
