| Teresa and Carlton Mathews |
This week we are
honoring our beautiful friend and 'Overcoming With God' blog contributor Teresa
Mathews, by sharing a tribute to her beloved husband, Carlton Mathews, who sadly
passed away recently on May 7, 2015.
Carlton is now rejoicing
in the presence of his Heavenly Father and is free of all pain and earthly
sorrows. We rejoice in that but are grieving at the enormous loss to our sweet
friend, Teresa, who holds a very large place in our hearts, and we know, in all
of yours, too. Please remember in prayer, Teresa and their two sons Daniel and
Joshua, and family and friends, throughout the coming days and weeks to come.
He was and always will be her love and her heart. Teresa, we love you more than
words can say, and pray for your peace and strength, along with God's love and
guidance as He holds your hands and wraps His arms about you.

Fifty-three year old Carlton Mathews was an extremely devoted and loving husband to Teresa and an amazing dad to their two handsome boys. Teresa and Carlton were happily married for 28 wonderful years. He worked as a salesman at a plumbing supply company and was an anointed praise and worship leader at Abundant Life Assembly in W. Columbia, South Carolina. Carlton loved and obeyed the Lord with all his heart and we know he was welcomed with great rejoicing into Heaven with the resounding words of God saying "Well done, thou good and faithful servant... Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Carlton has touched many, many lives in his one lifetime, not the least was his beloved family who will miss him more than words can express.
