The Story of Henry's Final Rest contnues

Sep 6, 2018, 5:36 PM

Greetings in the Name of the Lord! Another Month has passed and another awaits us, i strongly and confidently believe the new month will be so much greater and better, However, iam more excited and rather Joyful amidst the past sorrows and misery and al that befell upon us by the death of my beloved brother which we didnt know that his untimely departure would leave us stranded about not knowing where his final resting place would be. However iam so glad that Pastor Steve and his wife will be visiting Africa for the first time especially Uganda my Home country. iam so delighted to have them visit i will get back to this after sharing more about how God was able to touch a woman that i didnt know who was touched by our story and without any penny paid to her she offered us land to temporarily have my brother be buried until we are able to get him the fianl resting place.

To begin with, our culture is quite different it has alot of norms and traditions that presently we are dealing with and gradually this has been getting slowed down by so many factors bought about by the changing world. as you all know i lost my brother henry, this was the most trying time in my life, and my family, we went through so much struggle to find a place for his burial, in africa one has to be buried in their own land, its imposible unless on a special case like ours where we needed to look for a place that was willing to have us bury our beloved brother until we are able to find land that would be his final resting place.

after Burial life moved on, there was alot to do, more healing of the hearts and wounds that needed to be binded because of his death, but as if that wasnt enough after a few weeks someone was able to fault us that where we buried henry wasnt the right place and we were give an ultimatum to remove him from the ground and take him to another place. The news of such a kind sparked outrage and bitterness inside me, i was wondering how cruel people can be not to have respect for the dead! how in this world would i afford to dig up a person we were all trying to forget? it was a had choice, a tough decision but regardless of all that we felt, the land owner didnt care and Yes he needed us to remove him from his land. i panicked, i was frustrated, i didnt know what to do next. i didnt know where he would be re burried, we had nothing at all. This case became serious when local council authorities were involved, days started to move, i begged to have my brother stay where he wasbut no one paid attention, i had to look for money to pay for another place that i had goten so he would temporarily be there but it wasnt enough, two days towards the day of removing his remains, a lady approached me she was old and i was sitted with my head bowed between my knees under a tree just a stone throw from the grave of where Henry was. she asked why i looked troubled, i narrated my story, she was moved and later asked me what the need was and after explaining to  her she said i have land where you can temporaly bury your brother. i couldnt believe what i had and immediately i swung into action and looked for the people who would help in digging the grave of my brother. it took me more than what i can describe to stand while he was being dug out. but i had to be strong, finally we were so happyto see what the Lord did for us. i have a few pictures that explain this situation and how he was re buried again.

our God will never fail us, even at the end of everything i have learnt God will be at the very end where you would least expect him.

i thank you all that have stood with us in such a time in prayer. May the Lord reward you. Thank you pastor stephen and Moutain Movers.
