No one wants to lose their loved ones. I offer my condolences to the family of Donna. I would like to offer much more in the way of comfort. The God of all comfort plans a wonderful future for Donna. In the Bible at Luke 7:22, Jesus showed great love for others. He went from city to city, telling people about the Kingdom of God. He cured the blind, the lame, and the deaf. He raised the dead. Jesus even gave his own life in behalf of mankind. What does this mean for us? In the Lords Prayer we pray for Gods Kingdom to come and his will to be done. What a wonderful part of that Kingdom rule to bring our loved ones back to us in the earthly resurrection. Its Gods guarantee that Donna will be with us again!
