Today while in sacrament meeting my son Gary leaned over to me and said Mom do you know who's shoes I have on? and I said No, he said they are Uncle Murry's I had a flood of emotions come over me, it just so happens to be Murry's birthday, tears filled my eyes, oh how we miss him, the lessons I learned from him in life and death have forever changed me and my family. Gary you are wearing the shoes of one Remarkable man!!! You are wearing the shoe's of someone who loved the Lord and loved to serve....wonderful footsteps to follow.
What Is This Thing That Men Call Death?
What is this thing that men call death?
This quiet passing in the night?
‘Tis not the end but genesis
Of better worlds and greater light
O God, touch Thou my aching heart
And calm my troubled, haunting fears
Let hope and faith, transcendent, pure
Give strength and peace beyond my tears.
There is no death, but only change
With recompense for vict’ry won
The gift of Him who loved all men
The Son of God, the Holy One.
President Gordon B Hinckley
Yup! we do miss him, and such a great man. Thanks for making me cry!
