Time stopped for a brief while this afternoon while we celebrated the life of our friend, Pat Hetzel. Pat leaves behind his dear wife and 4 young children- 1 boy and 3girls. Please, pray for them. His death was unexpected and sudden, and their lives have been turned upside down and are grieving like nothing I can imagine. They need to be completely covered in prayer. And not just a prayer today and tomorrow, but prayers for weeks, months, years.
I am attaching 2 songs that were played at Pat's service today. He loved his family deeply and these songs were perfect. Remember to turn off the music at the bottom of the page.
In Him,
E

As I reflect on the things shared at Pat's funeral today I realize that I don't make the most of everyday like I should. Do I really let my wife and kids know how much I love them? Do I express it with passion or uncertainty? My soul aches for what Pat's wife and kids are having to endure. This leads me to really examine what I'm doing with my life. We are not gauranteed another day. I know that God tells us that He will not give us more than we can endure but why do I still question Him? I guess this must be how my kids feel when I say "Trust me, I will catch you". They know that I have never failed them but they are still hesitant to jump! I trust Him and will no longer just go through the motions. So with all my fears, I will choose to follow His call and say YES!
My heart breaks for his family. What a painful journey to walk. What a sad loss. Know that I will be praying for them.
Hugs!
My prayer are with this family!

Hi Elizabeth! It's me, Amy, Markana's best friend. I keep up with your blog and truly love reading it and finding out what all the girls are up to. I know we do not know each other that well, but just wanted to let you know that I am praying for your friends' family. What a sad day for everyone involved. Please know that all of you are in our prayers. Thank you for being there for Markana, Chip and Stella this week. I am only a phone call away if you need me while you are in town this week. Much Love-Amy (Dieter) Laird.
