Grass withers flowers fall as the Lord blows on them but the Word is forever [Isa.40:7-8] WE who are as grass & planted flowers in the earth we wither, leave as God blows and calls us home, but remember his words [Brother Rod] shared with you through your life that they may be with you forever.Our prayers are continually with you but during these times it's that God will wrap His arms around U both and comfort & keep you, knowing also you will see him again.
