George William BRADSHAW AGE 92 - PLAINWELL, MI
George W. Bradshaw died on May 9, 2022 at the age of 92 at his home surrounded by his family. George was born on June 24th, 1929 to George and Jessie Bradshaw in Orangeville, Michigan. George is survived by his loving wife, Frances (Chrisman) Bradshaw. They were married for 68 years. George is the father of George William Bradshaw III (Lee) and Sandra Kay Pillars (Joseph). He is the cherished grampa to Travis John Try (Abby) and Rachele Try-Angelo (Luke). He is the grandfather of Christopher James Bradshaw. He is “grampi” to his great- granddaughters, Morgan M. Try and Ella Frances Angelo. He is preceded in death by 12 brothers and sisters and is the last member of the family from Orangeville to pass away. George and Frances lived in Plainwell most of their married life and later moved to Big Lake in the Martin area. George was a proud U.S. Army veteran serving in the Korean war. George worked at Georgia Pacific for 21 years and later retired from the Plainwell Public Works Department. George’s greatest joys in life were his grandchildren and great-granddaughters. His favorite thing in the world was having company at the lake. He could sit on the deck with you for hours and look at the lake. He loved watching for hummingbirds and looked up at every single airplane that passed over. He was a single engine pilot when he was young until he clipped the power lines while buzzing his house. He loved telling that story and many more. Some stories were shared at showand-tell by grandkids because they were believed to be factual, such as; Canadian Geese let the hummingbirds ride on their backs when they flew to Mexico for the winter because their wings are so tiny. He really enjoyed life with his wife, going out dancing with friends, playing cards, going on cruises and renting cottages at Gravel Lake. He lived life to the fullest and loved all the simple things. He was everyone’s favorite uncle, best friend, best grampa and most loving father and husband. He would always walk you to your car when you left or stand at the window and wave when you drove away. When his walk slowed down to a shuffle he would still try to beat his wife to a door so he could open it for her. He was a gentleman to the end and he battled the disease of Alzheimer’s until his very last breath. Military graveside services will be held on Monday, May 16th at 10:30 at Fort Custer National Cemetery in Augusta, Michigan. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Wings of Hope Hospice in Allegan. According to his wishes cremation has taken place. Due to increasing Covid numbers we will not be having a reception after the service. Please join us at the lake over the summer to remember my dad and all that he meant to everyone that he met. His beautiful smile and the twinkle in his eye will be missed by his family, friends and very special neighbors that helped our family through his last battle. He was dearly loved.

Every January I always looked forward to you and Roberta’s visit here to south Florida. A week of great fun, dinners, lunch, beer and rum & cokes! Time always went too fast and I would look forward to the next visit. Now you’ve been gone a year and January is NEVER the same. Sure miss you, my best friend ever, and hope you’re having a great time up above playing golf, having rum and cokes with all your buddies. We will meet again some day.

I DARE YOU TO BE LOVED... When people listen, God speaks. When people obey, God acts. When God acts, people change. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens! Praise him from the skies! Psalm 148:1 Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, anyone who welcomes my messenger is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming the Father who sent me.” John 13:20 REFLECTION: The Psalmist begins by praising God for the creation of the heavens and sky. What a wonderful, positive way to start a day! However, there are those who are godless by nature and snarl at a new day. They see it as another dreadful start to hours filled with strife and tedious work. There is hope! Jesus welcomes those who welcome Him. Anyone who welcomes Jesus, accepts God. When we acknowledge the beauty of God’s love and appreciate Him for creating life, our hearts change. The truth is, when we contemplate God, the Author of Life, we find no reason to despise Him. PRAYER TIME: Praise You Lord Jesus! You have given me new life from the dead. You have shared with me your “one way love”. It came down from heaven and opened my heart and mind to the truth about God the Father. Praise You Jesus. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.

Another example of stunned silence was when the disciples were arguing about who was greatest in the Kingdom of God. Jesus, over hearing them, said “What were you arguing about on the way? But they were silent!” (Mark 9:33-37). To the contrary, many have known the blessing of a quiet mind. A peaceful mind generates power (Isaiah 26:3). Let’s take a closer look.
IN OUR PRAYERS TO GOD In the spiritual discipline of prayer, we have found it helpful to begin prayer with moments of silence. Prayer is really about being aware of the presence of God. God is more important than the answer. God knows our needs before we ask. So, get an image of Jesus in your mind and concentrate on that before saying anything. In Psalm 46:10 God says, “Be still and know I am God.”
In prayer, the Holy Spirit prays through us “with groans that words cannot express” (Romans 8:26). “And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will” (Romans 8:27). There is power in silence in our prayers to God.
IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER PEOPLE We have heard the old saying, “If you can’t think of anything good to say, don’t say anything.” In Proverbs 15:1 we read, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” The best way to get along with people is to love them. And it does not take words to do that.
IN OUR MINISTRY FOR CHRIST One of the lessons I have learned as a pastor is that people may not remember the words I said, but they will remember I was there in their time of need. This brings to mind the story of the young pastor who was getting ready for his first funeral. When he went to the bereaved family to plan the service, he was very nervous about what to say. He stumbled through the 23rd Psalm and when it came time to pray, he broke down and cried. He felt so ashamed and embarrassed. Years later, while pastoring in another community, he ran into that family somewhere. He felt uncomfortable seeing them. The first thing they said to him, “We will always remember how you were there for us in our time of sorrow.” This is called “ministry of presence.”
So there we have it, silence in prayer, silence in relationships and silence in our ministry for Christ.

ADOPTABLE Pets of the Week! ZEUS is one of those hidden gems
Zeus is one of many dogs available for adoption at the Allegan County Animal Shelter. Quick reminder that the Bissell Pet Foundation sponsored Empty the Shelter event is currently underway. If you are interested in adopting Zeus or another available dog (or cat) through the Empty the Shelter event, get your application in today. Zeus is obviously a cutie, he is also a people lover. He can be playful and enjoys his time outside soaking up the little bit of sunshine we've had this year. Zeus would be happy to be the only pet in his forever home, however he could join a home with another dog. He seems to prefer female dogs that are easy going. It is recommended that any children in the home are 12 years old and up and dog savvy. Zeus is 5 years old and he weighs approximately 70 pounds. If you would like to add a big lovebug to your home, fill out an adoption application at:
wishbonepetrescue.org ...With Bissell Pet Foundation's Empty the Shelters Adoption Event through May 14, it is the perfect time to adopt! The Allegan County Animal Shelter is managed by Wishbone Pet Rescue.
