As many of us have enjoyed Christmas with all it's blessing: Family, new Grandbaby, Having our Parents & Children, Having a Job, Not lacking for Food our want.
Today a piece of the past came up. Was it from God... Terry, my husband googled my dad's name to show him how easy it is to find people and info about their family.
With that said, Many of you do not know I lost My brother who was 6 years older then me. He was around 23 or 24 years old just starting life. I was in college. He was murdered in Houston by people stealing cars, vans and chopping them and resale among other things. As he went to see his wife at Joske's (I believe that's how you spell the store.) He was obducted and murdered in May of 77 or 78.
My husband found today on Google My brothers murder trial information. I ask to see where he had found it. It was so long ago, yet to hear the information again was hard.
As I go through life, I sometimes wish I had my brother to help me make decisions as my parents go through the end of their life. My mom is gone now and my dad has health issues.
My dad is so strong and stays positive, even though it must have been hard to lose his only son, David Harry Samsel. My brothers middle name was after my Dad's first name.
I guess in a way my dad knows how Mary felt losing her first son, (Correction) God's only son, because he lost his.
The happy part of this all is, I know someday we will all see each other, because of our faith in Jesus Christ, God's son. I know my brother called on the Lord in many times of trouble, through flat tire and broken down cars as a teenager, and I know at the time of his death, who else would he have to turn to when no one else was there. The Lord is always there.
So at this time of year turn your eyes on the one true thing in life, Jesus Christ.
Merry Christmas & God bless.
