SHAWN'S NEW HOME AND LIFE

Dear Loved Ones,

While I hurt and grieve deeply, I am also so envious of what Shawn Anthamatten, disciple and worker for Jesus, is now or will soon be getting to see. Job offers some insight here:

"Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God's wonders. Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash? Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who is perfect in knowledge? You who swelter in your clothes when the land lies hushed under the south wind, can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze? "Tell us what we should say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness. Should he be told that I want to speak? Would any man ask to be swallowed up?
Now no one can look at the sun, bright as it is in the skies after the wind has swept them clean. Out of the north he comes in golden splendor; God comes in awesome majesty. The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress. Therefore, men revere him, for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart"? (Job 37:14-24, NIV).

While Shawn had seen God's power at work many times, there is no doubt in my mind that if not already, he will soon be seeing "the wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge." Shawn is seeing the wonders of God's great works! Shawn is receiving his just reward--no more sadness, no more sickness, no more struggle. Now he gets to walk the streets of gold and see great glory! Oh happy day when Jesus walked! Oh happy day that Shawn now walks with Jesus all day everyday--and gets to see Jesus!

What an awesome God we serve! We love you Shawn!
