Bonnie's life will bring eternal results still waiting for us to see. My disappointment at being unable to attend still stings my heart. But, when I read your Blog, Steve, I'm reminded of the little boy I once knew and the fun we had, and being able to pray for you as you matured...I am as impressed by your depth in your Blog as you are about Callie's. Then to add to it, I see your children (young adults) and thank my Father that I know all of you. To have been a small part of your life at it's most difficult time, and have the opportunity to pray for you all. My prayers will continue...you are part of me, mind, and soul. God will guide you, Steve, as you seek out His best for your family. By your side, Bonnie will be in your heart, cherish the moments that brought you together as a couple and as Christians. I am proud to know you and blessed by each of you.

The service was truly glorifying to God, and as Andrea said, inspired all of us to live more selfless, loving lives! Thanks for sharing Callie's post- a great reminder that the very things we want to protect our children from- hardships and trials- are the very things that are answers to our deepest prayers for them- that they will love Jesus passionately, with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength and truly surrender their lives to Him. I am sure that God has bestowed great grace on your family that has carried you all through to this day and that is the same hope and strength He will continue to carry you "one day at a time". My favorite verse is Lamentations 3:21-24 and this will be one of my prayers for you and the kids...<br />"But this I call to mind and therefore I have HOPE- because of the Lord's great love we are NOT consumed. His compassions never fail, they are new EVERY morning! I say to myself, the Lord is my portion, therefore I will wait for Him."Julie Gillespiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242262270904516687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331837098774854369.post-71857432221707922402010-12-15T23:29:40.810-05:002010-12-15T23:29:40.810-05:00Today's service was a huge blessing and God sp...Today's service was a huge blessing and God spoke so strongly to my heart. I was just overcome by the passionate Bonnie loved Jesus and how that loved motivated her to act and serve and pass on that love in so many ways to so many people. I walked away thinking, I want to love Jesus more, I really do. I know that if I died today that I don't think I would have such amazing testimonies said about me, I don't know. And not that an amazing memorial service is the goal, but today I decided that i want my life to be different than it is. I know that i want to love Jesus more and deepen my love for him and BE A BLESSING. I am so glad I came.Andrea Beaumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385490201575113804noreply@blogger.com
