Lyman F.T. Ray

We always enjoyed visiting with Lyman at our semi-annual outings. We will remember his friendship forever. We are very saddened with his passing; but know we will meet again one day.
Dorothy; you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

I was sad to hear of Lyman's death on Christmas day. I have fond memories of time spent with you two at the lake house. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Life is short. “It must quickly pass by, and away we fly,” perhaps in some 70 or 80 years. (Psalm 90:10) Humans come and go like green grass, like a passing shadow, like an exhalation. (Psalm 103:15; 144:3, 4) But God did not purpose that we spend a few decades growing up and gaining some wisdom and experience, only to spend the next few decades breaking down and descending into illness and death. God created humans with the desire

Life is short. “It must quickly pass by, and away we fly,” perhaps in some 70 or 80 years. (Psalm 90:10) Humans come and go like green grass, like a passing shadow, like an exhalation. (Psalm 103:15; 144:3, 4) But God did not purpose that we spend a few decades growing up and gaining some wisdom and experience, only to spend the next few decades breaking down and descending into illness and death. God created humans with the desire to live forever. “Time indefinite he has put in their heart,” the Bible tells us. (Ecclesiastes 3:11) Is God cruel, giving us such a desire and then making it impossible to fulfill it? No, indeed, for “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) He will use the resurrection to make everlasting life possible for people who have died.
Thanks to the resurrection hope, we can have a secure future. We need not be frantic, driven to reach our full potential right now. We need not make use of this dying world “to the full.” (1 Corinthians 7:29-31; 1 John 2:17) Unlike those with no real hope, we have the wonderful gift of knowing that if we remain faithful to God, we will have all eternity to laud him and enjoy life. By all means, then, let us daily praise God, who makes the resurrection hope a certainty!
May the Ray family find comfort and solace in God’s promises for the future.

I am so sorry to hear about Lyman's passing. The kids and have fond memories of going out to the house in Kaw City after a long day of boating. May God's grace give you comfort and peace.

Just thinking of you at this time.
