A Little Break


My nephew passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus this morning, at home, with his wife and parents at his side.
I'll be taking a break for a week or so. Thank you to all who prayed. So many prayers were answered in the way we wished - a quick end to his pain, the ability to be at home until the end, and many more small details that we are thankful for. Continue to pray for his wife and two small boys, and his parents and siblings, as well as the extended family.

"Underneath are the everlasting arms."

  15. I didn't write before, but I've been keeping Colin and all his family in my prayers, along with our daughters' nanny and her three daughters (aged 14, 11 and 4)- her husband, Jean-Luc, suddenly died of a heart attack on Sunday and we went to his funeral today. Could you please keep them in your prayers too ?
    Who knows, maybe these two good men met up there in Heaven...
    Keeping everybody in my thoughts and prayers. Lots of hugs.
