You capture the pain, grappling and hurt of life, with the truth of God with us, beautifully.

Yet in some ways it reminds me that this is why Christ came – to bring peace and to restore a damaged world. May that peace that we cannot understand be yours as you and the family walk through this dark moment.

We praise Him and lift his name on high and we comfort ourselves in his presence. God be with you all.

Life is a chancy business indeed. We never no. We have had another family member have a diagnosis of cancer just w eek or so ago. An immediate op and it looks good. We have already lost two of my siblings spouses to cancer over the years.
God bless you guys and the work you are doing.
May 20126 be a very blessed year for Kingdom & family.

I have spent the Christmas week delivering carol services and traditional worship to the elderly but in the background ministering to the dying and their families… Yo ho ho has a very hollow ring.
Condolences to those who are mourning.
