1 Peter 4:12-13
Suffering for Being a Christian 12 Dear friends, don't be surprised by the painful suffering you are going through. Don't feel as if something strange were happening to you. 13 Be joyful that you are taking part in Christ's sufferings. Then you will be filled with joy when Christ returns in glory.

Family,

I am appealing to those who have recently loss their homes. It is so important to look to God for strength. You may feel compelled to start feeling sorry for yourselves, and the devil may be encouraging you to dismiss the Lord. But, let me say... It is through trials, that the Lord tests your faith and endurance. If everything were peachy all of the time, how could we grow as people? I ask you to not give up. You may not understand all that the Lord does, but trust in Him and His word. He loves you! He will never leave nor forsake you! No matter what things look like now...Everything has a purpose!!!

Matthew 6:11-13
11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. 13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Paying final respects to our beloved Home

Dearly Beloved, As we look out this picturesque window, out into a memory filled, crisp, grassy view, let us take the time out to rememeber our Home...

I will venture to say that there was a time when pure snow filled her passionate roof. She would take the brunt of snowballs just to protect us. During the major holidays, when the snow melted it was like tears forecasting the inevitable. We didn't hang Christmas lights, because we felt it too painful to pretend we were here to stay.

A couple of short years into our ownership, there became this fear of losing her to a tragic disease. I've heard of a few homeowner's saving their homes from this disease, but chances were slim.
I'll never forget the name of this sneaky, and devastating disease: "Adjustable Rate Mortgage."

Home, endured family arguments, and with her gentleness calmed the storm. As a God fearing family, we know that whatever God does is for a reason. God gave Home and my family peace, because things got to tough to bare.

We began making final arrangements for her by hiring a Realtor. He gave us an estimate of the costs involved, you know like if you wanted to put her away in style or a humble send off. Next, he placed a For Sale sign in the yard. The hammering sound it took to prepare for such a viewing was to say the least eerie.

The days were leading up to the Foreclosure Auction, where we would pay our final respects. The mourning process was in full effect. As a Mother, I felt like I had abandoned my child.
It was a private interment, just the immediate family atteneded. It was our decision to elect pain-cremation.

Why you ask? Because as we slowly walk away from our dearly departed, we must look to God for strength, cross the bridges of life, and hold on to all lessons learned. In this case we placed our fiery pain in the smoldering delima, also known as Foreclosure.

Good-bye, Sweet Home
