2 Corinthians 4:17-18 – For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So, we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Elaine, Mackenzie and Spencer, we love you and our hearts and prayers go out to all of you and the family.
Love your extended family,
The Gandy’s
