Lisa & Family,
Even when the hurt runs deep, God’s love runs deeper. Sometimes in the saddest hours, we can’t do anything but put our hand in His. Feel Him leading you now and know that no matter what, you are safe, and you are His. I pray that the Lord will provide during this time of sorrow and always!
