I went to Karena's funeral yesterday. There were lots of people there. Lots. It was at Kerith Community Church in Bracknell - a large church. I was amazed.
I asked myself: "How is it that a new young widower, called Craig, can stand, arms aloft, singing "How Great Thou Art" with 3 young children by his side who have just lost their mother?
I asked myself: "How can Craig then address the congregation with such composure, realism and faith and speak with shocking openness about his wife's death and about the pain of loosing "my very best friend"? How was he able to crate such a moving tribute to his wife of photos of her life with the song "I'm lost without you" with its double meaning? How could he speak so confidently about Jesus and about heaven? How can he then greet so many mourners with such love and affection with no hint of bitterness? How can he do that?
Only the Grace of God.

I wholeheartedly agree with you!
There is simply nothing else to rely on but grace...
and nobody else to rely on but Jesus.
Karena is home bless her-she's doing just great!
Make every preach count-the gospel is the answer to everything.
Much love to you dear friend...
Craig x
