We are thankful for those who have upheld the Strassers with prayer during this time, and ask that you continue as the Lord brings them to mind. They are blessed with a very devoted church family, and it has been so uplifting to hear the way they have been supported in so many practical ways. Joel and Terri have been such a witness through this. We are looking forward to quite a reunion in heaven.
One of our earliest memories of the Strassers was visiting their church and hearing Joel and Terri, in the choir, singing "Find Us Faithful", which is now one of our favorite songs.
We're pilgrims on the journey of the narrow road
And those who've gone before us line the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a living testament to God's sustaining grace
Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who've gone before us, let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through Godly lives
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift through all we've left behind
May the clues that they discover, and the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
