Thoughts From Calvary

During our journey to Gallup today we received heartbreaking news, Calvary had lost a dear dear friend and Christ servant. Paul Trotter had passed away. A stunned silence came over our van as the 9 of us tried to come to grips with what we had just heard. The overwhelming sentiment was "I just cant believe it". As we slowly absorbed our new reality, silence gave way to reminiscing. Memories of Paul in the nursery and working with the children in VBS, Sunday school and many other times. My memory leaned more towards his selfless servant heart as he spent so many hours cleaning our worship center and many other areas of the building. Paul never complained, he just served. It was his ministry, it was his heart. Calvary has truly lost a part of its body today. One that could never be replaced. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Surely God's plan was fulfilled in Paul's life today. We could never fathom His "timing"all we can do is trust that Paul's time was complete. With his mission on this earth through he was welcomed by his Saviour with those words I oh, so long to hear someday "well done good and faithful servant". Until we see you again my brother in Christ, Calvary thanks you and I thank you for showing us all what it looks like to live as Christ.
