Good hard work and great faith and a very big heart - a lover and a giver in Jesus' name - Lois Hayes died yesterday after a lifetime of service in His name. Service to family,to friends, and to church.
She was so angry with me once during tough times( not so long ago, either) when we had no food, and we had not told her. " Don't you ever do that again " she said, angry, and pointing her finger in my face. " If you are hungry you tell me. I want you to promise that," she said, and then she filled our cupboards to overflowing, the fridge and freezer too, and it was enough food for a month.
She did not do anything halfway, and she did it all. Courage, strength, faith, and the will to live life to it's fullest and to encourage others to as well. Full with life and joy.
Words from scripture come to mind - "Well done good and faithful servant." She is now at the greatest reunion of all - with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, her husband Rex, those in her family who died in faith, and the rest of the great family of believers.
