ROMANS 15:13 AMP
Absolutely overwhelmed with grief and sorrow, but also overwhelmed by the compassion of our God through your love for us. We are not among those who grieve without hope.
I need to share this. This photo was the last picture of Justin that I took. 40 hours before his death, he and I together prayed with our son Samuel to give his life to Christ. On the night of Thursday, August 23, Samuel confidently said he was ready -for me to go get Justin so we could pray together. After we prayed, I pulled out my phone and snapped this photo because I always wanted to remember that special moment. I had no idea how much the photo would mean. It’s the hope of Christ that we have clung to as a family and will continue to cling to. There is no other true hope.
