Dear friends and family of Grace, My name is Jessica and I am a volunteer in your area. I do not know Grace or your family personally but I am writing to share a comforting thought with your family. Life is so short, we live some 70-80, sometimes more and then our reality is eventual death. The Bible talks about our desire to live eternally in Ecclesiastes 3:11 we read, "Everything he has made pretty in its time. Even time indefinite he has put in their heart, that mankind may never find out the work that the [true] God has made from the start to the finish." Death was not God's original purpose, as stated in the scripture God has put time indefinite in the hearts of his people. Soon this will be realized in the coming paradise earth that God has promised (Psalms 37:29).
