But my heart aches for you over such a great loss and I'm praying for you that God should embrace you and comfort you.Glen always encouraged me by quoting that God has all things in control. We have to believe by faith now and except that word. May his memories live on in you.<br />Praying and thinking of you.<br />MarilynMarilynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182492226705250548.post-23101670078299581642010-02-03T05:50:09.166-05:002010-02-03T05:50:09.166-05:00I had the privilege of meeting Glen when he came t...I had the privilege of meeting Glen when he came to Sri Lanka for a conference. God’s strength and His mercy and love were evident as I saw him and I heard Him talk. I cannot remember fully the contents of the seminar but I remember him. He was in pain oft and on yet, he was strong and stood up to the task. We here in Sri Lanka have been praying for him and you, and the family. <br />We remembered you in our prayers today as well. May God continue to strengthen you and your children. I know it may not be the place to say this, as I do not know you personally, yet, I feel I must. God blessed your family, not just with each of you, but with love and also times of hardship, which you now look back to and see God at work. Though Glen is not with you, he has lead each of you to a stronger belief in our Lord. (I am penning my thoughts as I feel led to).<br />My prayer for you is that, God would now draw closer, strengthen more and in the quietest moments and hardest times, that He would whisper in your ears. God is an ever present help. <br />May God bless you all. My prayers are with you.Ruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02191625253808105975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182492226705250548.post-75208875396658507832010-01-29T17:02:55.711-05:002010-01-29T17:02:55.711-05:00Denita, Joel, Becky, David

Glenn is one who has been well received into heaven, with a "Well done, good and faithful servant!" <br /><br />I met Glenn only once here in Jersey, he was speaking to a group here and talked with him afterwards. . . he was kind to wait around. What I remember of him is his firm stand in the Lord and his heart for others. <br /><br />He will be missed. . . his testimony of Christ shined. My prayers are for you and your family.

May our Lord give you the strength and comfort you so need at this incredibly painful time. He is ever faithful - even in the most excruciatingly painful times. If there is anything Glenn Penner taught us all by his example it was exactly that: God is ever faithful . . . <br /><br />We know he is rejoicing with God and has heard those precious words "Well done, my good and faithful Servant." <br /><br />I want to thank you, Denita, for supporting Glenn and allowing him to be the blessing that he has been for so many. I've never met you, but I know that in order for Glenn to have had the ability and freedom to touch all those lives, there must have been an incredible woman behind him, praying for and supporting him. <br /><br />Thank-you and may God's loving arms hold you and yours during this very difficult time.<br /><br />- SandieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182492226705250548.post-55668385706602996942010-01-27T12:59:53.612-05:002010-01-27T12:59:53.612-05:00Denita, I will keep you and your family in my pray...Denita, I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
