  Ricky is with his loving heavenly Father and Jesus right now; that thought gave me great peace this morning ! Please watch this video to see how 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 & 2 Corinthians 5:8 make sense: Watch “I Thessalonians 4:13-18 Jesus Is Coming Again - Join Pastor Harold Salem On The Christian Worship Hour Today” on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/90697005 The sermon starts about midway on the video.

  This is Ricky when he was little; however, we used to call him "Richie" back then. He was so cute. He was born with dark hair, turned strawberry blonde, to blonde hair, and got dark again as he got older.Ricky was born in Florida. Ricky and I spent a lot of time at the beach back then. Ricky and I moved to New York in 2001. I am so at peace tonight - knowing my little "Richie" grown into a real special and gifted young man "Ricardo" is now with his daddy in Heaven - that LOVES him so much. That brings me great comfort !

  Someone shared this verse with me; I read it when I first woke this morning: But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 ESV) I do not ever remember seeing that verse before; however, God used it to comfort me and take the deep pain (in my heart) away that I have felt ....ever since I learned of my son's death.
