Raised with Christ

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. — Colossians 3:1

This week we have been praying for my friend Mari and her family.

She has down in Guadalupe visiting relatives.

Her  uncle Rito has been very sick.

He was hospitalized and intubated.

They removed the tube, but he has been suffering from kidney disease.

Then the doctors discovered an infection in his lungs.

Today he died, even after all the care he was getting.

The family is now grieving for his loss. 

Jesus is welcoming him into heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

Still, it is hard to lose a loved one.

My prayers continue for Mari and Bogar and the family as they mourn.

Jesus knows their suffering.
