Feedback "Spiritual Newsletter (October 18, 2023)" Quick-Quill writes: I believe in the hereafter. While there is a grave for both my parents, they aren't there. In fact, my sister recently gave her heart to God, and I thought, I wished my mom and dad knew. I remembered a verse in the Bible that says All of heaven rejoices when a lost soul comes to the Lord. That's when I knew they knew she got saved. No better honor than that. AmyJo-Thankful in heart writes: Thank you so much for showing my poem in your Editor's picks. I am honored. I lost a younger sister to cancer back in 2021. I have written a couple of things in her honor. I think about her around her birthday, and also in the spring, when she passed. |
