Dear Sr. Nancy & Family,
My prayers have been said for you and your family. I am sure your constant faith, Nancy, is a real comfort but I am very sorry and I am sure that you miss your father dearly.
“Listen for I will tell you a mystery! We will not all die, but we will all be changed, in a
moment, in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the
dead will be raised imperishable, and will be changed. For this perishable body must put on
imperishability, and this mortal body must on immortality. . When this perishable body puts
on imperishability, and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written
will be fulfilled:
“Death has been swallowed up in victory.
“Where, O death is your victory?
Where, O death is your sting?”
The sting of death is sin and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives
us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15: 51-57)
God’s love and peace, Bill Wolfe
May your hearts be filled with peace at this time of sorrow. You have my loving thoughts and prayers.
