    His Promise is Our Worth

    As sure as the Four Winds do sideways blow,
    Now and unto Eternity, both above and below,
    Never ceasing their travail; so Love bends,
    Enduring time’s passage, in a journey that never ends,
    Lest souls and hearts and minds be left to long
    In ongoing wonder as to where, and Whom, we belong.
    Kindhearted mercy, peace, and sacrifice—
    All of these promises fulfilled, not only Once, but Thrice.
    Through testing and trials, under His Wing
    Everyone can partake, as sure as angels love to sing
    When a single soul repents and is saved.
    Everyone lost can find his Way on a road that’s pre-paved.
    Now to know the purpose of every birth:
    To unite all things to Him both in Heaven and on Earth,
    Excepting none, accepting all…His Promise is Our Worth.

    Eddie was a believer in our Lord Jesus. To now think of him in Eternal Life with his beloved Beverly is joyful. All of the years I knew Eddie, his word was his bond. He was always close by with a helping hand, the right words and of course the correct tool, as he owned them all. He ensured both of his sons were Eagle Scouts. Afterwards he continued to be a Leader with the Boy Scouts developing many other boys guiding them down that same path of honor. God, Family and Country was what Eddie was all about. Rest In Peace my dear friend.
