Thanksgiving Prayer!

Dear Lord,
I thank you today for all the blessings of this world but also for the promise of eternal life. The gift of your son was so great and something we could never thank you enough for. This gift lets me know that even though today I will not hold my son that I will some day be in your kingdom with him again doing just that. Please give us the strength we need to enjoy this blessed day that you have given us with our family and friends and all those who have said goodbye to someone way to soon. When we falter please walk with us through this difficult time.

I thank you for the gift of life no matter how long or short it may be. Every day is a gift, may we magnify your name and all that you have given us so that others may see your love and great works through our words and actions. Please be with those who cannot be with their families in any capacity and those who will not be fortunate enough to know the comfort of a warm bed or hot meal today. Find a place in the hearts of those who do not know your love and are downtrodden and lost in their lives right now. May they flock to you and know the many blessings and peace that you can bring to them. Bless those who will be born today and those who will die today and that they know your loving peace and grace.

I thank you for all the blessings of this world especially my husband, children, family, and friends who have supported us and helped us through the tragic events that have unfolded before our family. May we find that this is all part of your plan and trust in you although we do not always understand. Draw us close when things seem to fall apart and help us soar to achieve your will when we find the strength you have given to us . Thank you for trusting in me to do your work and allow others to see your greatness in all that I do, may I be a tool for you to build your kingdom. In Jesus name...Amen

Matthew 25:35

For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ 37“Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38‘And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39‘When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40“The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’ 41“Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; 42for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; 43I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ 44“Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ 45“Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46“These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Obituary

George Charles Garman of Lumberton, born September 9, 2009, awoke in the Lord's loving arms on Friday, January 29, 2010. He was a beloved infant-son, brother, grandson, nephew, and light to all during his time on Earth, and his beautiful smile and infectious laugh continue to live on in the memories of all who knew him. The gifts he bestowed upon everyone he encountered are especially recalled fondly by his parents, Hugh and Nicole Garman (Arnao), brothers, Richard, Joshua, and Michael, grandparents, Michael and Barbara Arnao, and Alice and the late Frank Garman, and his great-grandparents Charles and Catherine Arnao and the late George and Frieda Miller. While the four short months he shared with his loved ones were made all too brief due to his fight with Mitochondrial Disease, his memory will live on forever. A celebration of George's life will be held on Saturday, February 13, 2010. Calling hours will be from 12:00-2:00 PM at St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church, 489 Main St., Lumberton, NJ 08048. A celebratory service will begin at 2 PM with a reception following. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations made in George's name to The Joshua Garman Special Needs Trust c/o J. Robert Steelman 1117 Lambert Dr., Westhampton, NJ 08060. Condolences may be sent to www.koschekandporterfuneralhome.com
