How precious life really is....

Good day all....It is about -1 here in the North and it is a overcast kind of grey day...Winter is approaching...We got home last night from Southern Ontario...We attended the funeral of Arlene Brokking...A couple very close in age to us...She was a kind gentle person and always nice to visit with...Will has been friends with Philip her husband for many years and grew up together going to the same church and school...Both love hunting and fishing...She passed away last Thursday at the age of 34 ..A young mother to three precious children...Being there and seeing this family just broke my heart and really put into perspective..How precious life really is...God gives life and God takes away..Our lives are all planned and the number of years, months, days and hours are pre-planned by Him...Arlenes time was done here on earth and God wanted her to come home...Such a comfort to her husband Phil that she was a Christian ...It will be very hard for him and the children in the coming weeks and months....Time does heal...And we must trust in God that He will look after them ...Please keep them all in your prayers ...Until next time....

Beth told me about this. I am so sorry for your loss and have been praying for her dear family.

So sad, and yet so much hope and comfort in the knowledge that she is at peace and with her God. We are praying for them too.
