Dad lost Mom to cancer on 04-21-22. One memory that is still discussed is Mom´s "assured expectation" that I would never have to attend school (that was 55 yrs ago ).
One reason we look forward to all of Jehovah´s promises being fulfilled, is knowing that no one will have to experience the emotional roller coaster that imperfection causes.
As you patiently wait for Jehovah´s day to arrive, continue to lean on Him and your Spiritual Family for the Love, Strength, Comfort and Support you will need to get thru the upcoming days.
All our Love
Your Extended Family
