To: The Deacon Robert L. Collier Jr. Family



Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Matthew 5:4)



Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Matthew 5:8)

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. (Matthew 25:23)



Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. (James 4:14)

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14:26)

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5,6)



Ruby, Faren, Robert and Jordan keep trusting in the Lord.

His ways is not our ways, and His thoughts is not our thoughts.



Love
