Uncle Terry i cant belive your gone i miss you already. I love you uncle Terry.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I know this is not an easy time but God will give you the comfort to get through this.
The Lord laid it on my heart to share the following passage with Tammy and her boys: Verily, verily, I say unto you,that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. -John 16:20-24
Take care and God bless each of you!
Kindest Regards,
Amanda Farmer
