Kit going home on his Friday night. All of us gathered together to ensure we would not face the news alone. <br /> <br />We attended last night’s service, keeping our three young children up far<br />past their bedtimes because we HAD to attend the Expression Session in Kit’s honour. It was Kit’s passion for the Lord, intelligence, hilarity as a speaker and powerful ability to reach into the most private struggles of our hearts with his messages that brought us to our knees before the Lord asking him into our lives 9 years ago one Friday night. <br /><br />As we bundled our 2,4 and 6 year old into their car seats last night they<br />witnessed our sorrow and asked what was wrong. We shared that<br />the man we were there to celebrate had died. <br /><br />One child immediately said “that is so cool, everyone was all together at church for him” <br />and our four year old followed by declaring with great excitement: “Mama – he gets to see GOD’s face!!!”. In their innocence they saw right through to the joy of Kit being with GOD. <br /><br />Right now we cannot bear to think of our lives without Kit’s teachings but we will trust in GOD’s plan. <br /><br />Our prayers are especially with Kit’s family. <br /><br />The Ryden FamilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
