Sympathy & Prayers

Again, I needed a sympathy card.  A husband, father, grand-father and christian man age 55 was called home.  Life is so unexpected that we need to live as if today was the last day.  Death does not discriminate.  It will happen to all of us.  Am I ready for that day?  In many ways yes, in many ways no.
 "But I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day" (II Timothy 1:12)
