"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us . . . " Hebrews 12:1



Almost 18 years ago, life changed in an instant when Steven Sauder sustained a head injury after a car collision. Although there have been many difficulties, God's grace has been clearly evident. The past few years, Steven continued to decline, yet God gave him the strength to "never give up". On May 9, 2011, he reached the end of his journey.

Quick post to let you know the hospice nurse was here around 2:00pm today and said Steven's homegoing may be today, definitely not more than 72 hours. Steven is ready and excited to meet the Lord. Thank you for your continuing prayers. This is a tough time.

  1. Our love and prayers are with each one of you. For you, Vicki and your children we pray that God will give you courage and strength as you "watch and pray with Steven in his last hours and say your goodbyes. For Steven we rejoice with him as we think of the reunion that is ahead of him. " What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see, what a day glorious day that will be!!"

  4. Today we sang, "Face To Face".
    Face to face with
    Christ my Savior,
    Face to face--what will it be.
    When with rapture I behold Him
    Jesus Christ who died for me ?

    Only faintly now I see Him,
    With the darkling veil between:
    but a blessed day is coming
    when His glory whall be seen

    What rejoicing in His presence
    When are banished grief and pain
    When the crooked ways are straightened
    And the dark things shall be plain.

    Face to face! O blissful moment !
    face to face--to see and know
    Face to face with my Redeemer.
    Jesus Christ who loves me so.

    Face to face I shall behold Him, Far beyond the starry sky.
    Face to face in all His glory, I shall see Him by and by.

    Of course, I was crying and thinking of how wonderful for Steve ! And then someday, for the rest of us, his brothers and sisters.

    We prayed for you today at Eureka.
