A Tribute
The short excerpt is by me, and the Scripture is Proverbs 31:30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Monday morning, November 14 at 4 A.M. my wife, Beth, and I got the phone call that her mother, Ina Frazier, had passed away. While it was not unexpected as she was in her last stages with her battle with cancer, it still brought lots of emotions and tears to us both.
Ina Frazier spent most of her adult life as a missionary in Africa with her husband and seven children sharing the gospel. She was a prayer warrior and a rock to so many, and my wife lost not only her mother but her best friend. Close to her final days and breaths here on Earth, she insisted that her tithe check make it into the church offering plate and that a good donation was made out of her account to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, a Baptist church offering that goes to support missionaries.
Matthew 6:31 says that where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Ina Frazier is now spending eternity where her treasure was when she was here on Earth. Now she has a new body, and in heaven there is no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. (Revelation 21:4).
I can almost hear the words spoken from heaven. Well done, good and faithful servant! You finished the race well!
Champions, have a great week!-David Vining
