Words could never express the shock of hearing of Nate's
passing. In remembering the story of Hezekiah in the bible, I could hear the angels saying, "Lord please give him 15 more years. He is such an example of how to love, to live, and to give there on earth.. See Lord, how hard he works in your vineyard. And look Lord....Look at the pain his wife Victoria will have to endure. Look at the hole it will leave in the hearts of his family and friend's. Please Lord, can he work a little longer?"
But, I can imagine the Lord saying, "yes..he was a good worker, and I smiled at his works often. But, his work is now done, he has finished his race. And I now want him right here by My right side. Just remind his wife, his children, his family, and his friends...that I will be with them throughout it all. That I will never leave nor forsake them. Tell them that it's alright for them to cry, But.... weeping may endure for a night..but joy cometh in the morning. Cry not without hope......you can lean on Me, I will give them the strength to make it through it. Let them know that I love them, and I will be right there. Let them know that Nate is alright....that he made his way home. Let them know that, just like him, they too have a seat on my right side, and one day they will take their rightful place. Let them know that I will be patiently waiting. That I have so much to show them....that their eyes have not seen nor their ears ever heard what I have in stored for them. Let them know that Nate is just fine...let them know.
