Even through the worst days you believed, though HE slays me, yet will I trust HIM. Life is not fair, but GOD... makes it good. We will Honor, give GOD thanks and praise no matter what! GOD is... "the joy and the strength of my life removes all pain, misery and strife. HE promised to keep, never to leave me. HE will never, never falls short of HIS word...

Mrs. Parker, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. His love and presence brought so much light into your life, and the lives of others. Please know that I am here for you during this difficult time. During this time of profound sorrow, I want you to know that you're not alone.

POEM OF LIFE "Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what's to be, A resting place along the road, To sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn somethings, But never meant to stay... Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know. For some the journey's quicker, For some the journey's slow. And when the journey finally ends, We'll claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord." 2 Corinthians 5:8 "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." I love you Uncle AEarl. You taught me so much and I appreciate you for everything. You will be miss. Your niece Chamika

"Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men" (Ps. 1:1-3, BST). My loyal friend and faithful brother, Rev. AEarl Parker is that man. So, we have learned about many people who trusted God long ago. They are like a very big crowd all around us, and we should copy their example. We must be like people who run in a race. We must throw away everything that stops us from running well. (See Hebrews 12:1). My loyal friend and faithful brother, Rev. AEarl Parker is among them. My most profound and deepest condolences to you, the good lady, Mrs. Jacqui Parker, and the entire family circle. May the Holy Spirit overshadow you and comfort you during this most difficult period. Remain strong in the Lord! "Do not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly). Believe [confidently] in God and trust in Him, [have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and] believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and I will take you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also" (Jn. 14:1-3, AMP). God is faithful and keeps His word. I have strong faith and confidence that my loyal friend and faithful brother, Rev. AEarl Parker is with the Lord. With love, Rev. Eldred Hodge and Mrs. Vayolla Hodge. Shalom!

Giving God our Father all the Glory and praise, "But the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. - Daniel 11:32, NKJV Aunt Jackie, I would like to share this scripture with you as a testiment : Today's Scripture that when you know our God, when you know who you're talking to in prayer, you won't pray weak prayers; you'll pray bold prayers. You'll ask for big things, for things that seemed over your head, that other people think are far out, too much, that could never happen. You have to recognize the One who is putting that dream in your heart and get in agreement with Him. Don't talk yourself out of the purposes God puts in your heart. He is the all-powerful Creator of the universe. Don't go through life with a small vision, praying small, thinking small. You activate your faith by not only believing, but by asking, by saying, "God, let me impact the culture. God, let my children leave their mark. God, open doors so I can accomplish what You've destined me to do." You don't want to come to the end of life and have to wonder what would have happened if you had prayed bold, believed big, and taken the limits off God. Bold prayers get bold results. Prayer For Today: "Father, thank You that You are the all-powerful Creator of the universe. Help me take the limits off what I believe You can do in and through my life to impact the culture. I open my heart to You and ask You to increase my capacity to pray bold prayers that get bold results. In Jesus' Name, Amen." May God continue to give you strength during this time and may you forever continue to be encouraged. Love Samantha,

We first met Reverend Parker on a cruise he and Jackie Mrs Parker were such a loving couple. He would preface his order for dinner selection with 'the lady will have'. Jacqui be encouraged as Rev. Parker might say, the lady will have God's strength and peace to sustain her. Deepest condolences, Marsha and David Jamison.
