Consider how the wildflowers grow. They do not labor or spin... But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:25-33
* Remember that it's okay to grieve and that your emotions are normal. Allow yourself to feel the pain of your loss, but also hold onto the hope and comfort found in God's Word.
May God bless you during this difficult time.
