Memorials
We always remember those who have gone before us. A way was made, the paths many of us continue on even today. They've lead us to things our loved ones only hoped for us and their choices and sacrifice launched us forward. Better than worldly riches, their intent, effort, will, belief in us, we're still moving forward

Wow how do you say good bye to your family. All day everyday you try and give your love and support to your family. Even through rough times you fight through things because they are your love ones. You spent time on the phone talking along with countless holidays enjoying each moment. All in one instant one breathless moment all things can turn. Remember to always appreciate and tell the important people in your life that you love them and how much they mean to you.

THE HOPE OF THE RESURRECTION

Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment……….John 5: 28 and 29.

Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life.” The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life…….John 11:25.

We look forward In the near future that the bible promise at Isaiah 33:24 will certainly come true. “And no resident” will say: “I am sick.”
