To Ledema's Family and Friends,
ReplyDeleteMy condolences are with you as you grieve.
At such times of sorrow we may ask, "Will I ever see or embrace my loved one again?" Jesus answers at John 11:11-44 saying: "Lazarus! Come on out!" And he did.
Patiently waiting for all those in the memorial tombs to hear Jesus' voice and come on out.
May we all be there to welcome them back to a beautiful earthly paradise that God promised. - Psalm 37:29; Revelation 21:3-5; Isaiah 65:17-22
Sincerely,
La Chelle Yates
