Mrs. Patrica Mack,
Romans 8:28,states,"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." Author Oswald Chambers writes about the" Undetected Sacredness of Circumstances. He states,the circumstances of a saint's life are ordained of God.God by His providence brings you into circumstances that you can't understand at all, but the Spirit of God understands.God's aim(goal)is to accomplish a definite purpose through the intercession of the Spirit in you. All your circumstances are in the hand of God, and therefore you don't ever have to think they are unnatural, strange or unique.You must keep your conscious life as a sacred place for the Holy Spirit. Then God will use you in service to others, for kingdom building.I pray these word encourage your heart in the loss of your son. Be blessed of the Lord.Love you all with the perfect love of Jesus The Christ!!!

Mrs. Robin Washington,
So glad to read your,prayer,entry in this book.The God kind of faith, you exercised in asking Him to give your heart peace and to strengthen you are traits of a expectant child of God.There is wonder working power in prayer.Be encouraged,St. Matthew 21:22,states,"AND ALL THINGS, WHATSOEVER YE SHALL ASK IN PRAYER,BELIEVING,YE SHALL RECEIVE."

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. From your cousin to the Washington family.
