In celebration and loving memory of our incredibly amazing, life-giving, effervescent, infectious, selfless, ineffable, brilliant, chivalrous, relational, authentic, captivating, passionate, warrior, brother, nephew, cousin, grandson, friend, soul mate, and son- Robert Sterling Earhart. We praise God for the gift you were and the one you continue to be now and for all eternity! Love you for always, like you forever, as long as I'm living, my precious Sterling you'll be! Best Sterling in Eternity!
Three years ago this day the heavenly host of angels were on notice and awaited God's announcement of your name, Robert Sterling Earhart! There was a flurry of activity as preparations were being made to bring another saint safely home. Even though everything appeared to be just another day living out your dream, He was calling and finalizing the plans for your final destiny. Being only 21 years old seemed too soon to go with so much yet to be done. The clouds of witnesses along with the angels were already in a state of great exhilaration as YOU would be entering heaven's scene.
While you were engaged with the people and responsibilities set before you, God was “sending angels ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place He prepared...heaven... our HOME! Those angels commanded over you long before now were guarding you carefully" until that appointed hour. (Exodus 23:20, Luke 4:10) Spurgeon reminds us "the dying hour is the best ever known! That last moment would have been your richest.
Better than your birth is the day of death for a believer." "Living is death; dying is life. On this side of the grave we are exiles, on that, citizens; on this side, orphans, on that, children; on this side, captives; on that, freemen; on this side, disguised, unknown; on that, disclosed and proclaimed as the sons of God."( Henry Ward Beecher) When we look through the eternal lens of Christ how can we not celebrate the phenomenal HOMECOMING as it is what each believer looks towards with enthusiasm!
