IN LOVING MEMORY OF BECK CHEW

Harris Hospital, Benbrook, TX

Our fellow Pbaser, Katie Chew, lost her husband this morning from cancer. This image was driven by God, whether you believe or not. I wanted to honor Beck and Katie and wanted to comfort her as well. Well, the story goes like this. I had a doctor's appointment and was a few minutes early. As I walked into the hospital I saw the Chapel sign so I went in to say a prayer for strength and comfort for Katie and her family. I said a prayer and felt the need to take the image of the alter in front of me. Then, I walked to the podium where a Bible was there and just opened it up and snapped a picture of the page. Not until I got home did I realize that it was the 23rd Psalm. I was too teared up to know what page it had come to. If that God isn't God speaking out, I don't know what is. Some may call in coincidence, I call it a belief that there IS a God and he loves us all. Whether you believe or not, these kinds of things happen to me all the time, unexplainable things, subtle to some but overpowering to me. Answered prayers and faith have led me to believe that what the Bible says is true. That it is the word of God.

Katie, this image is for you and I love you very much. I pray that God keeps watch over you and your children and keeps you safe, comforts you and gives you strength to carry on. Beck is now walking with the Lord and is in peace. One day you will walk beside him. May God truly bless you.

Cindi, Katie told me fist thing this morning of the passing of Beck. My heart just aches for her loss. This heavenly image accompanied by the music Brings tears to my eyes, but yes, he will no longer feel any pain, as he is now in the hands of God. What a beautiful work up, that truly touches the soul.

We all love you Katie~
