Luke 9:6-9

We had Mom’s Memorial yesterday, she was laid to rest with Daddy. About 50 of our family gathered together, the Huber’s and the Wildermuth’s,  to give our final respect. Our home was filled all weekend with our family from Ohio, North Carolina, Texas and Florida. Today seems so quiet.

The minister was my brother in laws’ sister and my sister gave the eulogy. We ended with my nephew singing Amazing Grace. We all went to my house for the dinner that we had prepared and in our sunny front yard we sent off balloons in pastel colors. 

She will be missed  but there is comfort in knowing she is with Jesus and reunited with Daddy. Married on April Fools Day they celebrated 71 years together. 

Rest in God’s perfect peace Momma!

“Dear Lord, grant me the grace of wonder. Surprise me, amaze me, awe me in every crevice of your universe. Each day enrapture me with your marvelous things without number. I do not ask to see the reason for it all; I ask only to share the wonder of it all.” Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

Luke 9:6-9

6 So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere. 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead, 8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. 9 Herod said, “John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things?” So he sought to see Him. The New King James Version

Some people regarded Jesus as John the Baptist risen from the dead; others viewed Him as the old testament prophet Elijah, who was expected to return someday. Herod, who beheaded John, was anxious to learn about the true identity of Jesus. Herod’s curiosity is finally satisfied when Pilate sends Jesus to Herod. Faithlife Study Bible

Matthew 14:1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus

Matthew 14:2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”

Mark 6:14 Now King Herod heard of Him, for His name had become well known. And he said, “John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”

Mark 6:15 Others said, “It is Elijah.”And others said, “It is the Prophet, or like one of the prophets.”

Luke 23:8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him.
