May He give you great hope too for all that He has in store for your life as you put your trust in Him, in spite of the pain that may come.Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00863572401144450122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405148269097016922.post-46241178328476393932015-10-04T17:17:57.718-06:002015-10-04T17:17:57.718-06:00Thanks so much, Beth.

Thank you for this piece. There is pain but in the end the alternative to hope is filled with just as much loss and even more pain.
