By the Stream
Jeremiah 17:8 tells us that those planted "by the stream" never have to worry about outside circumstances. This is will be the evident difference between those who claim to be reliant on God and those who actually practice that dependence. What do your leaves look like in a drought?

Oh Denise...I'm sorry about your grandpa. Your family will be in my prayers in the coming weeks. :(
You and your family have my sympathies and prayers
Life Is Eternal
If we did not go to sleep at night
We'd never awaken to see the light,
And the joy of watching a new day break
Or meeting the dawn by some quiet lake
Would never be ours unless we slept
While God and all His angels kept
A vigil through this "little death"
That's over with the morning's breath. And death, too is a time of sleeping,
For those who die are in God's keeping
And there's a "sunrise" for each soul, For life not death is God's primised goal.
So trust God's promise and doubt Him never
For only through death can man live forever!

Dear Denise, My prayers are with you & your family.
Love,
Jan
Thank you, dear ones, for all you do for me.
The trip was very difficult - many tears, but also much laughter. Truely LIFE (and life more ABUNDANT, John 10:10) is God's promised goal.
I am warmed to think my Grampa joins my mom's mom and others in my family tree in the preparation for our reunion.
More later...
