Greetings and best wishes from Pilgrim Presbyterian Church in the heart of Vinita, Oklahoma.
In the last three months our family has mourned the sudden deaths of two dear friends. Both friends gave their hearts to Jesus Christ. By their kind, gracious lives they declared and demonstrated Christ as a living power.
Their wholly unexpected deaths remind me of the impermanence of life. As pilgrims on a journey, none of us is assured of tomorrow. We live to the rhythm of life and death, of sorrow and joy.
The Tulsa World, a daily newspaper, devotes a page which is called "Our Lives." On that page notices of birth and deaths, marriages and divorces are reported. Behind each notice their is a case of human sorrow and human joy.
No one can escape from this rhythm of life. Know that we are not permanent residents on earth, but pilgrims of eternity.
Know, too, that Christ is with us on our pilgrimage. Christ gives us his life, his spirit, his love, joy and peace.
With blessings and in friendship,
Richard
