Guest Book

My heart aches for the Watkins family to lose recently in death your precious loved one Kennda after just 17 way too short years, way too young, way too soon. When death robs us of someone we love very much, it causes much sadness and grief. Words are so limited that can give comfort, so I would like to share with you beautiful scripture where Jesus makes us a wonderful promise at John 5:28, which says: 'Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out...' Our heavenly father promises us to do away with man's worst enemy, death at Rev. 21: 4 which reads: 'And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.' Isaiah 33:24 guarantees us: 'And no resident will say 'I am sick,' ever again. For more comforting scriptures please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt. It has given me hope, strengthened my faith and helped me find the answer to Why? I know it will do the same for you. John 17:3 God's kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt. 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises including the resurrection. John 6:40 Also, Titus 1: 2 tells us this promise of a resurrection: 'is based on a hope of the everlasting life that God, who cannot lie, promised long ago.' Isaiah 26:19 'Your dead will live......And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.' Isaiah 25:8 'He will swallow up death forever. For Jehovah himself has spoken it.' Jehovah invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief. Psalm 34:18 I offer my sincere condolences to the family. Feel free to contact me at my email address: myranj@centurytel.net May these promises give you hope, comfort and peace in your time of grief. I pray it will bring you comfort to please watch this beautiful video (song 144) entitled 'Keep Your Eyes on the Prize' https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/V
