Harvey Bush

Dear Bush Family: You have my condolence on the loss of Harvey. The following is a poem that has touched my heart about God’s promise of a resurrection. (Acts 24:15) “Life, like a mist, appears for just a day, Then disappears tomorrow. All that we are can quickly fade away, Replaced with tears and sorrow. If a man should die, can he live again? Hear the promise God has made: He will call; the dead will answer. They will live, at His command. For He will have a longing for the work of His own hands. So have faith, and do not wonder, for our God can make us stand. And we will live forever, as the work of His own hand. Friends of our God, though they may pass away will never be forsaken, all those asleep, who in Gods mem’ry stay, from death He will awaken. Then we’ll come to see, all that life can be: Paradise eternally. He will call; the dead will answer. They will live, at His command. For He will have a longing for the work of His own hands. So have faith, and do not wonder, for our God can make us stand. And we will live forever, as the work of His own hand” ……. May the God of “everlasting comfort” be with all of you as you grieve, heal and look forward to the earthly resurrection of the dead where we will be able to live in the paradise to come under the rulership of God’s beloved Son, Jesus Christ (2Thessalonians 2:16, 17; Psalms 37:11, 29; Matthew 28:18).
