Words of

Faith &Hope “24/7”

“… He who watches over Israel will never slumber nor sleep” – Psalm 121:4

In ancient times, believers would make periodic pilgrimages to Jerusalem. There were no buses, trains, planes or automobiles. They would trudge along by foot as best they could. The journeys were long and tiring, taking days to reach their destination. There was the constant threat of wild animals and robbers. Thus to protect themselves, a guard or sentry would be stationed high and up a nearby hill where he could watch and sound a warning if danger approached. But there was great fear the pilgrims always had. What if the sentry falls asleep? Who would protect them from a surprise attack? The psalmist has the answer: “My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth … “ When we feel lonely or afraid, remember these words by George Matheson: “There is an eye that never sleeps, Beneath the wing of night. There is an ear that never shuts When sink the beams of light. There is an arm that never tires When human strength gives way. There is a love that never fails When earthly loves decay.”

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for your constant love and care for us. Amen Peace to you and please join us for worship this Sunday in a church where Jesus’ love is lived.

Obituaries Robert C. HIGGS

Robert died peacefully Wednesday night, March 5, 2014 at Borgess Medical Center in Kalamazoo. Bob was born November 5, 1922, in Benton Harbor, the son of Edward W. “Ted” and Leona M. (Maynard) Higgs. He graduated from Plainwell High School in 1941 and married his high school sweetheart, Ruth Mary Walker, on May 9, 1943 in Plainwell. He served his country during World War Two as a radio technician in the Army Air Corps. Following the war he took up his father’s trade as a photoengraver, and together, along with Ruth, they founded Ace Engravers in Plainwell in the early 1950’s. Bob and Ruth later sold the business, and their home, and moved to Pine Lake. In 1991, they moved to Florida, where they both discovered golf for the first time. Bob returned to Michigan following Ruth’s death and was fortunate enough to find love again, and in 2007 married Patricia (Thomas) Lesterhouse. He has made his home for the past two years with his son, Jim, and his wife, Suzanne. Bob was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Sgt. William E. Higgs, who was killed in the war in 1943; his wife, Ruth, in 2003, and his second wife, Patricia (Thomas) Higgs in 2013. He is survived by his son, James R. “Jim” Higgs (Suzanne), three grandchildren: Robert E. Higgs (Lynn), Dianna Stampfler, and Katelyn Kenitz; five great-grandchildren; his sister, Betty Orr, several nieces and nephews and a former daughter-in-law, Sue E. Higgs. Cremation has taken place and a graveside service will be held in the spring. Contributions in memory of Bob may be made to Wings of Hope Hospice or Otsego V.F.W. Post #3030.

269- Oh, do you remember a long time ago?

Two kids fell in love, their names we both know. Put together by God up above, we were just children, but oh so in love. You gave me a ring and asked for my hand . I was the happiest girl in the land. You were my one and only. My heart knew it then, and to this day, that’s the way it's always been. God put us together with love in our hear ts. He put us together until death do us part .

Happy 60th Anniversary, Jim! Love always...and forever, Joyce
