Hello I just have been trying to figure out how to tell a story of my friend Eddie. I am not sure of the date of these pictures of Eddie? I looked back on my blog and found these two. The heading of the blog is July 8th 2015.
Well Eddie has passed on January 23 2021. It is very sad news BUT good news too. I will see him again in Heaven. He real was a servant for the Lord.
I meet Eddie back at Adventure Learning Centre. Thinking maybe 2009 or so?? Not really sure of the year.
This picture is taken after Eddie moved back to the states. When he left ALC, Bahamas, he left a big hole there. he was our cook and helper at Calvary Bible and pretty much helping others all of the time.
He moved to Vero Beach, Florida. I use to get back to the states and drive up here to spend some time with him.
The funny story is, that is how, when I retired from Calvary Chapel Ft Laud, Fl. I found a place up here to retire. I just enjoy his company and how peaceful it is up here.
This is Tim Ryan (missionary) and Eddie out in front of his home. I am not sure when this was taken? But Eddie had many friends that loved him very much.
I have stopped by here a few times since I have not seen Eddie. I know he has been feeling not to good for the last couple of years. I have tried to talk with him, but he really didn't want to see me. I thinking he was in pretty bad shape? But I stopped by and there was no answer at the door. Like I said I have stopped before. I would leave my card and ask him to call me. But as time as gone by. Nothing happen. So I left my card in the door and left. I saw a neighbor out in front. Asked if he knew Eddie? Yes he did and told me that He passed awhile back.
I text some of our friends back in the Bahamas to let them know.
Thinking wow. Our time on this earth is very short and where will we end up at????
That correct folks we need to make a stand for our Lord Jesus Christ.
The reason I say all this is, I KNOW I WILL SEE EDDIE AGAIN, IN HEAVEN.
How about YOU?
Do you trust in Jesus Christ AS LORD???
Now the neat things happens. As I left my card in his door, I got a call from the new owner, Lisa, she told me about what happen to Eddie. I thank her and thought that would be the end?
But she said, I see you are a handy man. Yes I am, what can I do for you?
She asked if we (Roy) and I could put in toilets? Sure can.
So last week or so, Roy and I drove up here and put in a couple of toilets for her.
As I walked around I see Eddie still celebrated Christmas.
It bought back many memories.
As Lisa and I talked about Eddie, she really never meet him, but the church she goes to, sold her his home. The reason is Eddie left it to the church and it was their choose to sell or rent it out.
So Lisa is very blessed and she loves this place. Now she will clean is up and see what The Lord has planned for this place.
After we got both toilets in she was very happy to hear stories about Eddie and the toilet made her day too.
I know there are many out there will miss Eddie very much, which I do.
But his home is being used to bring glory to our Lord.
We all need to ask Jesus into our hearts to live and trust HIM. PLEASE ASK HIM IN.
Very simple prayer. Jesus I ask You into my heart and live and I will trust You with very things I have a don't. You are my LORD, NOW.
