Junie and I went to Arlington to visit my mother over spring break. We enjoyed helping her prepare for easter. One afternoon we attended the UMW Missions meeting and helped the ladies prepare easter baskets for shut-ins and elderly people. This was Junie's first time to make easter baskets. We helped mama get her table set, prepare flowers and get ready for an easter weekend visit from the Glovers.
We came home to Birmingham on Thursday to attend the Maundy Thursday Love Feast, our Good Friday Service of Darkness and Easter Day worship...it was a blessing. Praise the LORD for the bodily resurrection of Christ and his promises to us.
We were sad that our close friend, Charlie Richburg, died on Monday after Easter, but he is now at rest in the LORD.....he was a faithful Christian man who bore great witness to the love and glory of Christ even in his suffering. He is free now and O what a glorious day it will be in the resurrection for Charlie! It was a blessing to see a lot of friends who came to the funeral....praise the Lord for the fellowship of saints on the earth and now Charlie is in the great cloud of witnesses whom we will join as we worship our risen LORD!

Cindy, I googled Charlie, and found this. I miss him. This March 24 will be two years. Do you think he thinks of us as much as we think of him? Probably not...He keeps too busy praising his Jesus...
Thanks for remembering him.
Becky.
