Dear Bryan Family
In this temporal life we can look to the past and reflect on memories...We can live in the present and experience the day...but because of Christ's promises...we can see beyond this temporal world, we set our eyes & our hearts toward the future. Know that the passing of each day takes you one step closer to the future...where Cris is waiting for you. Don't look back - look forward.
Jeremiah 29:11 He gives us a hope and a future.
