Dear Irene, Dave, Jocelyn and Joanna,
We were gone for a couple of days and I found I couldn’t wait to get home and get an update. You are all on our minds all during the day, so prayer is ongoing comfort. Since I just heard a few days ago I am still in shock and trying to take it all in. It is so hard for us to think of all of you going through this. I can’t help but remember all the conversations with you, Irene, and the understanding and compassion that you have given me, and to think you are now enduring this trial is hard to understand. I know you are all safely surrounded in God’s protection, but I know, this is hard to bare. “He is able – more than able.” This verse is what has come to mind for you all.
I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness. And I will build you and you will be rebuilt. (Jeremiah 31:3-4)
Love, Betty
