Dearest sister Mary, thank you for sharing the hardest parts of your and Chuck's journey with Christ and for helping my brother get his wish - to live and die in his faith, peacefully at home till his Lord called him to his eternal home. You two demonstrated I Corinthians 13 kind of love - and it was powerful, moving and humbling.
Words can never express our family's gratitude...what a priceless gift you gave my brother Chuck, our entire family, and extended family and friends. We join in prayer for God to continue to guide you, comfort you, give you joy as you close one chapter and begin this new chapter of your life. We love you and look forward to hugs and prayers in person soon. Love you bunches!
Wonderfful message Mary, and how wonderfully you are dealing with this challenge--I do remember as well, but know the Lord and friends will continue to carry you through, and you'll find strengths you never thought possible. Love you, and have wanted to contribute to you alone rather than to CaringBridge. Have still not found how best to do that.
What a great lesson that story teaches! Thank you for passing it along! Chuck made a difference with his blog posts and other material that he shared. You definitely have a treasure in your hands. On another note, we can't wait to welcome you back!! You have so many people, including us, ready to walk with you as you continue your life's journey! Can't believe we get to hug you in person soon. ❤❤❤
Bless you, dear Mary, for entrusting us with the treasure of these deep reflections.✨ We love you and will continue believing God to carry and comfort you day by day. You are so precious to Him, and to us!!❤️🙏
I love that! Thank you for sharing. I can only imagine all the words of wisdom Chuck collected or created over the years. They fed his desire to know more or to gain a better understanding of things. What a gift to hold onto and share.
We are all here for you, ready to keep walking with you!
Thank you for that reminder, Mary, to continually feed the good and starve the evil. I’ve been thinking about you a lot. Have a safe journey back to the US. xoxo
Mary, you and Chuck shared so much strength from the Lord with us through your journey. The love between the two of you and for our Father is such an inspiration and has made a difference in our lives….through it we hug our loved ones a bit tighter, forgive the little things that used to bother us, let others know how much we love them each and every day, and open our hearts to the messages from God that He sends us every day to guide our steps…..what a gift you have shared and we love you so much❤️
As you are wrapping up the myriad of details in Costa Rica and say your good byes to family and friends know that your village awaits you in the states upon your return ❤️❤️❤️
This is a great story to illustrate the point. I remember Chuck sharing this one time during a layman’s view. Such wisdom. Mary, it will be so great to give you a hug … in person again. 💖🙏💖
