Yesterday was a sad one for me.

Early in the afternoon, I learned that a friend of mine from Yonkers had died of liver cancer.

Then, when I got home from church last night, I found out that my cousin, Jimmy, had died.

While my heart is sad, my confidence in our Lord is ever strong. Their faith in Christ Jesus has brought them home.

“I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.” John 10:14-15

“For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.” Romans 14:8
