On Saturday our Grands had conflicting events so the family had to divide and conquer.
Some of us were at Addy’s Basketball game. She enjoys playing.
Others were at JJ’s promotion at Taekwondo. He is officially a Junior now and his belt was upgraded.
We take joy in seeing our Grands thrive in our community.
Rejoice with those who rejoice.
On Sunday on our way home from church I took a photo at the roundabout.
Our community and our church are mourning the deaths of two officers who were killed in the line of duty in Spokane. One of those officers belongs to a well known and beloved farming family in our community. The flags are flying at half mast.
We buy from this farm and drive by their roadside store often.
Here is what the family wrote;
Mason was our son, our brother, our uncle, our friend, and our hero.
Our store will be closed until further notice.
If you wish to support his wife and sons, there will be a Mason Acheson Memorial Fund set up at STCU. There is also a GoFundMe for online giving: https://www.gofundme.com/…/honoring-mason-acheson…
“‘O Death, where is your sting?
O Grave, where is your victory?’
The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
(1 Corinthians 15:55-58)
We weep with those who weep.
We rejoice that Mason is with his Savior, Jesus. We weep with his loved ones who are still on this earth grieving the deep loss.
Living on this earth we have joy and sorrow.
