One of the
hardest Celebrations of Life that I have officiated, so far in my life, took place today, for the Late Doug Good.
Doug was more than a Councillor of our town, we had the honor to call him a friend and a colleague.
Been praying for over a week now for God to give me the strength and wisdom to carry through.
Late last night the words of Psalm 30:5 came to mind and they stuck with me all through the service also…
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”-Psalm 30:5
Therefore I repeat those words to The Good Family, The Carty Family, The Portland Community and the entire Rideau Lakes Township… Be strong, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”
May Doug’s and Mike’s memory continue to bless us as they blessed everyone around them. May we continue the work that they had started – Putting Portland on the Map…. Amen.
