Born to eternal life on December 2, 2018, at the age of 71 years. Visitation, Tuesday, December 11, 2018; 2-6 PM at Paradise Memorial Funeral and Cremation Services.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on behalf of the Carter family! John 3:16 describes a gift of incalculable worth to all of us including loved ones sleeping in death. “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.” My prayer is that all of us nurture that faith and live!
Dear Reed Family: Our families make us feel loved and valued. Losing them, can make us feel unimportant to everyone, including Almighty God. Others may try to comfort us, but sometimes we are inconsolable. We may even start to feel that we are not even valued by Almighty God, but nothing could be further from the truth. Almighty God never feels that way about us. Each human is so important to God that He allowed His Son (Jesus Christ) to die in our behalf, thus providing a ransom, and giving us the opportunity to live forever in paradise on earth in the near future. The son of God, Jesus Christ, further showed us how important each one of us are to him. He gave the following illustration at Luke 12:6, 7: “Five sparrows sell for two coins of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Have no fear; you are worth more than many sparrows.” …… The sparrow was the smallest and cheapest bird used for food in Bible days. A person could buy two sparrows for one assarion coin, equal to about 45 minutes wages. But for two assarion coins (about 90 minutes in wages) a person could buy, not four, but five sparrows. The 5th sparrow would be thrown in as though it had no value at all. Almighty God, Jehovah is his name, (Psalms 83:18) and his Son, Jesus Christ do not think or feel that we are the ‘5th sparrow’. All of us are precious in God’s eyes and extremely valuable. If Almighty God chose too, he could even tell us the number of hairs we have on our head. Thus letting all of us know every single person on this earth is important to God….. and so is Mary Reed! ……… Please cut, paste and watch the attached short comforting video: https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=502017858&srcid=share
