Geraldine, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I know what’s it’s like to lose a child so I can truly empathize with you. Know that God is in control and he will carry you through. My prayers are with you and your family.
Geraldine, My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. It is always hard to lose a dear ANGEL. That was what Lonnie was. He was the little boy that I never had. Thanks for sharing him with me during our time at Alcoa Elementary. I have thought about you over the years and wondered how you were doing. God will give you the strength to get through this and the days ahead is my prayer.
Praying for your family, God Loves the little children.
Although Jesus’s ministry was for only 3 ½ years, it had the greatest impact, than any other event in all of history. Jesus was approachable, & kind, LOVE was the motivation, for everything that Jesus did. Jesus spent his ministry telling the people of the kingdom, healing the sick, expelling demons, & in some cases raising some from the dead. (Rev. 21:3,4) Giving us a glimpse of what is yet to come. Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. He that exercises faith in me, though he dies, will come back to life (John 11:25) May the God of all comfort give you refuge, & strength, in your most difficult time. (2 Cor. 1:3,4). Love was the reason for the ransom sacrifice, showing the great love that Jehovah & Jesus had for all of mankind. (John 3:16) What a wonderful gift we have been given, to have the hope of seeing our loved ones once again.
