To: Hi Heels
How many times, O Lord, have we come to You, echoing Your Words as recorded in Job 12:10 ... that in Your hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
We know not why it is that Joan's body is overrun with disease, but we do know her concern is that her grandchildren remember a vibrant woman. Surely, it is You who sustains this family in their darkest hours. Whisper words of comfort that can only be spoken by the Holy Spirit ... bring words of encouragement that can only come from the Creator ... bring visions of the Heavenlies that can only come from Your promises of eternal life through the Risen Savior.
Be the food and drink that Joan needs ... satisfy her soul in the hours and days ahead ... prepare her loved ones for the sorrow of her passing while you sustain them with the certainty of joyous reunion, for it is Your hand that holds her life ... it is Your hand that holds the breath of all mankind.
Blessed be Your Name, now and forevermore, Amen ...

Thank you, what a blessing to hear the words. There is nothing on this earth that can replace the loving arms of Jesus. Only He can comfort. Only He can understand. Blessed are those who find His comfort.
