This is a personal message today. Two days ago, on March 19, my 93-year-old mother Josephine “Jo” Sande passed away. Fortunately I had the opportunity to be close to her — physically and emotionally — in her last years, especially during the final weeks of her life. I will always miss this woman, who blessed me with her sense of humor and joy of life.
I’m devastated that she is gone, yet I am not overwhelmed by grief. My faith has taught me that as a lifelong believer in Christ she has received everlasting life and that some day, I’ll be reunited with her as we praise God together.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.”
Psalms 34:18 NLT
