Love thy neighbor as thy self
Your family pains is in our hearts. There is a place that we can take our pain, it is called the secret dwelling place of the Most High.
“Anyone dwelling in the secret place of the Most High will lodge under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to my God ‘You are my refuge and my stronghold, my God in whom I trust.” – Psalms 91:1, 2.
These words has proven to be the words written on Juanita’s heart in her quite hours of rest. Now it’s our turn to trust that God will give Juanita Louise Summerlin back to us, but without aging to the point of dying.
God has promised.
