Uncle Donald Promoted to Glory

Andy's Uncle Donald passed away this morning. Over his 80 years of life he was truly a man of God--a man who practiced what he preached, who loved sincerely, and who prayed earnestly. He began praying for me before I ever met him. I had the privilege of spending a good amount of time with him a few summers ago while I was in Lebanon, PA for the summer months. His wife, Audrey, was very ill during this time and I saw love in action as he so delicately took care of her. There's was a deep, true love which only reflected the love he had for His savior. His was a gentle and giving soul. He served as a missionary in various places in Africa for several years and never had much by way of earthly possessions but was very rich indeed. This love he had for other people and for God is absolutely contagious.

Andy and his dad flew up to Pennsylvania the weekend before last to spend some time with him. They had a great weekend and Donald was very peaceful. Andy came home and told me that he had "perfect peace" that can only be explained by a firm faith in a just God. Lt. Colonel Donald Seiler has set the bar high for not only what it means to be a servant in this Army, but what is means to be a sanctified disciple of Christ Jesus. His life modeled Christ effectively in a very humble way.

These words are from Jeremy Camp's song Enough:

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

You are my supply
My breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
Worth living for
Still more awesome than I know

And all of you is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

You are my supply
My breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You're my coming King
You're my everything
Still more awesome than I know

And all of you is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

More than all I am
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough

And all of you is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in You is more than enough
