It says in John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotton so that we may not perish but have eternal life"!
Death here is very hard to understand the "whys" of it all, but trust in and accept God and you both will have the strength to endure. I keep telling myself that everyday as we struggle on thru this journey being unsure how it will turn out.
It's so good to get the support we do from the board...I know it sure helps me thru the tough times!! Thanks, Debbie
