Enrique is with our Father now!

IN MEMORIAM - CXXIII

There rolls the deep where grew the tree.

O earth, what changes hast thou seen!

There where the long street roars hath been

The stillness of the central sea.

The hills are shadows, and they flow 5

From form to form, and nothing stands;

They melt like mist, the solid lands,

Like clouds they shape themselves and go.

But in my spirit will I dwell,

And dream my dream, and hold it true; 10

For tho' my lips may breathe adieu,

I cannot think the thine farewell.

- Lord Alfred Tennyson (http://www.gutenberg.org/)

ON ANOTHER'S SORROW

Can I see another's woe,

And not be in sorrow too?

Can I see another's grief,

And not seek for kind relief?

Can I see a falling tear,

And not feel my sorrow's share? ...

He doth feel the sorrow too.

Think not thou canst sigh a sigh,

And thy Maker is not by:

Think not thou canst weep a tear,

And thy Maker is not year.

Oh He gives to us his joy,

That our grief He may destroy:

Till our grief is fled an gone

He doth sit by us and moan.

- William Blake (http://www.gutenberg.org)

Leana, familie en vriende,

Ons harte ween saam met julle. Carmen se liedjie omskryf so raak hoe ons almal voel.

Ons sal ALTYD in dankbaarheid so aan Enrique dink:

Phm 1:4-7 Ek dank my God altyd wanneer ek aan jou in my gebede dink, omdat ek van jou liefde en geloof hoor, wat jy met betrekking tot die Here Jesus en al die heiliges het, dat die gemeenskap van jou geloof kragtig [was] ... tot eer van Christus Jesus. Want ons het groot blydskap en troos oor jou liefde, omdat deur jou, broeder, die harte van die heiliges verkwik is.

Leana en Lerique, woorde skiet tekort om ons hartseer en meegevoel te beskryf. Wanneer my eie woorde op raak, soek ek skuiling onder die vleuls van God se Heilige Woord:

2Th 2:16-17 En mag onse Here Jesus Christus self en onse God en Vader, wat ons liefgehad het en ‘n ewige troos en goeie hoop in genade gegee het, julle harte vertroos en julle versterk in alle goeie woorde en werke!

Phm 1:3 Genade vir julle en vrede van God onse Vader en die Here Jesus Christus!

Ons bid vir elkeen van julle!

Met al ons liefde,

Lizette, Jannie, JD & Robin De Klerk
