Min. Donald C. Reid
Family of Deacon Lenon H. Mitchell,
The word “deacon” means “servant”. I Timothy 3:13 says,” For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
What a blessed man to have experienced such a full life on this side of eternity. What a blessed family to have benefited from having him and all that he was.
As long as life on earth was for him, it is no comparison to the life of eternity he has entered. The purest joy and happiness has now begun. Cherish his memories, celebrate his life, but don't neglect to follow his lead. Seek that same Savior that has so marvelously prepared a place for him and all of us that love HIM and are called according to HIS purpose.
Deacon Mitchell’s longevity serves as evidence of God’s approval of him. We, who love the Lord, know that Deacon Mitchell is now in the comfort of the Savior. All his collected tears will now yield joys unspeakable. Corruptible is now incorruptible and he is the grateful owner of his own mansion not made by hands.
Family, mourn if you must but don’t forget to honor Deacon Lenon H. Mitchell and his God by rejoicing over his life which is now eternal.
Respectfully,
Minister Donald C. Reid
