My personal Tribute to Wayne Cooley

A TRIBUTE TO WAYNE COOLEY

This is a paragraph out of my study that just summed up what we feel about the life of Wayne. He left behind a true testimony of living the abundant life right up till the time he walked into the arms of Jesus.
...
"The apostle Paul desired to rearrange our thinking on that. The abundant life is not when no impossible situations occur and you're experiencing peace, joy and happiness. While that's nice, true abundance is really seen when you're sitting in a prison circumstance, when you're eye to eye with an impossible situation, and right in the heart of your impossible, you experience the fullness of god. when like Paul, we can pour out our honor and praise upon God and maybe even write a doxology of our own in spite of what we're going through--that, my friend, is the abundant life." copied from "Faithful, Abundant, and True." Priscilla Shirer.

This morning I felt the desire to share these thoughts on Face book because I know Wayne's family are all on there. He was an inspiration to all of us during his fight with cancer. I will write more when we return from our trip to Thanksgiving dinner with Uncle Emmett who is 95. The family wanted especially to be with him this year. He is Eddie's last living Uncle out of seven children on his mom's side. All that is left now of Eddie's family is our generation and younger.
