Gordon's Dad Went to be with Jesus

Hi everyone,

I wanted to thank you all for praying for my dad over these past few years. At approximately 2:01 pm today Henry Gordon Carpenter was added to the great cloud of witnesses and is face to face with Jesus. This is his coronation day! I was able to say goodbye to him over the phone right before he died. He will be greatly missed. He was truly part of the Greatest Generation. But most of all he was a man who deeply loved God, his family, his friends, and others. He left a real legacy. When he died I could hear Jesus say “Well done good and faithful servant. Welcome home.” So please celebrate with me in knowing that we serve a faithful and loving God who fulfills all of his promises to us. Let us rejoice in knowing that he who began a good work in Henry Carpenter has completed it today and we look forward to the time when we are all with Jesus for eternity. “To the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen” (Jude 25).

Gratefully yours,

Gordon
