Three dear friends die
In between these momentous events, we’ve celebrated holidays and spent weekends with our grandchildren.
We’ve painted the bedroom, sat on our deck enjoying coffee and one another, shopped for groceries, argued, cried, laughed, prayed. We’ve attended weddings and workshops, funerals and fundraisers.
We’ve loved. God has been very, very good to us.
4 Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks. 5 For we know it is made acceptable by the word of God and prayer.
1 Timothy 4:4-5 (NLT)
