hello,
we had bereavement in my community today. it was a sad day as we had lots of thoughts as we think about someone who has lived to see three centuries.
he was born in 1895 and he lived through the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. not so many people live through this many centuries. we do feel that God was gracious unto him to live for 113 years.
he left behind grown up children in their 80's. Some of his family died already like his first wife that he married in 1923. he was taken care of by his 2nd wife that he married in 1932.
his first wife had not given birth and when he married the second wife they learned that she was able to give birth. this was a miracle after being childless for close to ten years. He later became blind for 18 years and his wife took great care of him. At his funeral, people commented that few women (wives) would take care of their wives or few husbands would take care of their wives in such difficult times and advanced ages. what a great example they set for the younger people.
he left behind, his wife, many children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren may the Lord lay his soul in eternal peace. and my wish is that you will also live long in this world too.
God Bless
Jonah
