I love that your brother shared this anthem lights video with you - God was working in his life and touching his heart and that is such a powerful thing to cling to.

Your words spoke straight to my heart, because a year and a half ago I was quoting the Jeremiah verse with my Bible study the morning of the day my brother-in-law died (of natural causes). He was young and healthy it came as a huge shock. I have a lot of peace about his death now, but I still struggled with that Laura E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14697607364672439046noreply@blogger.com
