Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you...Thessalonians 5:17

Dearest Michael~

Matt was home for a few days and it was good to have him here...he reminds me so much of you in so many ways and he was so helpful while he was here.  My heart breaks for him because he doesn't know how to grieve you...why should he have to???  He's doing all the right things, but I know his heart is breaking...and why not?  You were such a positive force in his life and now you are not here...where are you?  We miss you...life isn't complete without you...

Forever love,
Karen

O God, you made us in your own image and redeemed us through Jesus your Son: Look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
