Today, is a new day. The Word teaches us to "Rejoice, and be glad in it."
Although sorrows seems multiplied in days when our loved ones are called home, we remain Faithful to God's promise, "To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord." So, we will TRUST His Word and stand steadfast in it. God be with you, Cousin Doris and Family. Keep your strong Faith in Him. Much Love to you all.
