Focus Scripture    Psalm 23

 

God is my shepherd, I shall not want;

God makes me lie down in green pastures,

and leads me beside still waters;

God restores my soul.

God leads me in paths of righteousness

for God’s name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I fear no evil;

for you are with me;

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;

you anoint my head with oil,

my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life;

and I shall dwell in the house of God

forever.

To the congregation of COGS, from Betty Jenne
I want to express my deep appreciation for your prayers and kind feelings you all have shown to John while he was ill.  He was deeply touched by every card and comforted by your thoughtfulness.  Thank you very much!

 

I also want to thank you for the many condolences I received from you; it was comforting.

 

I plan to have a celebration of his life at my home, perhaps in a few months.  I will surely keep you informed on the date and extend the invitation to each and everyone.  I’ll keep in touch.

 

With Love,
