Pastor Pat, I pray that God may give you and all that are helping the strength you need to see this through in love. My sisters and I did this very thing for my mom for a month and today I would gladly go through the sleepless nights and blurry days just to know that we were as faithful to her as she would have been to us, or better yet our LORD. With that said, I remind you again to breath.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts and prayers and may the Glory of our LORD; indeed HIS very Presence, fill your home and hearts.
My dear Pastor Pat, Joyce and Family...you're in our prayers continuously. Know you are loved and cared for by so many but most of all by our glorious Father and Creator. In His time and blessed name we wait and walk with you. Thank you for allowing us to take this journey with you.
ReplyDeleteYours in Christ!
Pat, Joyce, and family,
ReplyDeleteWayne and I continue to walk with you in prayer through this leg of your journey.
We are thankful that Joyce is able to rest peacefully. We are thankful that God's appointed time will be. We are thankful to be a part of the Body of Christ who has the opportunity and privilege to continue praying for you all.
Your brother and sister in Christ,
Wayne and Linda Fravel
Dear Pastor Pat....You and your family continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Just keep remembering that SONG " I've got a mansion right over the hill top.' Joyce HAS A MANSION, RIGHT OVER THE HILL TOP, IN THAT BRIGHT LAND WHERE SHE WILL NEVER GROW OLD.
ReplyDeleteMy heart is heavy. The wait is long, but God will substain you, your family and your flock in this long wait of passing from this life into the next.
Pastor Pat and Family,
ReplyDeleteWe just heard that Joyce wasn't doing well and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Pat I am so sorry you have to go through this with the women you love so much, to see that you are willing to share your thoughts and suffering with others is very unselfish and you are very brave. I pray you continue to draw your strength from the Lord and that He gives you the rest and all the courage and you need at this time, please tell Joyce I love her and she holds a special place in my heart you all do for that matter, we have lovely memories of all of you and that is what we should all hold onto at this time. We must remember the times we laughed together and the times we loved each other. I am so grateful for all of you that you are surrounded by your loving family in the body and I'm sure you immediate family is there with you. Joyce has been on my mind for a very long time and I've been praying for her and you too. May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you and hold you tightly in His grasp. Now is the time to take refuge in His Wings
God Bless You Kenney Family.
We love you and we miss you,
Brent and Melissa Belisle

Pastor Pat and family,
ReplyDeleteOur hearts continue to ache and rejoice for you and your family all in the same moment. We are all made to long for home in heaven with our dear Lord and savior yet Jesus continues to keep Joyce here for a bit longer. He has a plan that we cannot question. You and your children are amazing as you take care of Joyce and provide her all the comforts of your agape love. I have been truly blessed to be an observer of Jesus in your home. Kiss Joyce for me again please. We leave for a few days but we will keep praying for you. Draw your strength from the Lord moment by moment. Love, Dave and Patti Tice
Dear Pat, Joyce, Noelle, Paul and Jordan,
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping in touch with us and letting God's love flow and show through you. What you do for the least of us is unto the LORD. So thank you for sharing your lives with us all.
In Him,
Judy

Dear Pastor,
ReplyDelete"continue to put on the full armor of God and He will have you stand strong during adversity. We all face challenges and difficult times. God doesn't send these storms, but it's in times of difficulty that we grow and become strong. It is an opportunity to allow God's Word to come alive in your life and see you through victory. God uses these challenges to stretch you and enlarge your vision. Remain faithfu during your time of adversity, and God will honor you. Fight the good fight of 'faith'. Remember, God will not waste anything you go through in life. You are growing. You are maturing. You are being prepared for promotion. Simply remain faithful and fight through all of this. In due season, and in God's appointed time He will promote you to new levels of victory and you will be delivered from this depression and nightmare. You and your family will find your peace and Joyce will enjoy her New Mansion on High.
God Bless....Isabelle
Dear Pat,
