Moving on

Today is a week after the memorial service for my late brother Pieter.
It was a touching ceremony with tributes by athletes, musicians, relatives and colleagues.
I would like to thank all those people who attended, but also all those people who have been so AMAZINGLY kind in their support.
We are now ready to move on with our lives and to preserve the good memories - although we will aways be sad that there will be no more new memories.


Here is the picture and words that we put on the bulletin at the memorial service.


PIETER PAULUS CRONJĖ
28 September 1962 – 18 April 2010
Gedenkdiens gehou deur Ds Koos Louw
N G Kerk, Groenkloof, 28 April 2010
Die gedig teen sy hangkas…
A PRAYER ANSWERED
I asked for strength And God gave me difficulties to make me strong
I asked for wisdom And God gave me problems to learn to solve
I asked for prosperity and God gave me brains and brawn to work
I asked for courage And God gave me dangers to overcome
I asked for love And God gave me troubled people to help
I asked for favours And God gave me opportunities

I received nothing I wanted

I received everything I needed 

Samesang
Lied 280: 1 & 2

Here, Redder, groot en magtig, U oorskou ons lewenspad.

In u liefde en genade het U ook ons hand kom vat.

Heer u leiding bring bevryding – U het ook my hand kom vat.

U het ook my hand kom vat.


U my Redder groot en magtig, U het my ook raakgesien.

Ek is feilbaar, swak onseker, Tog wil ek U dankbaar dien.

God, my Here – U is Here! Vas kan ek op U vertrou. Vas kan ek op U vertrou.
Skriflesing en boodskap
Teks:

Hiervan is ek oortuig: geen dood of lewe of engele of teenswoordige of toekomstige dinge of kragte of hoogte of diepte of enigiets anders in die skepping kan ons van die liefde van God skei nie, die liefde wat daar is in Christus Jesus ons Here. (Rom 8:38-39)
