Elder Wirthlin’s talk ‘Sunday Will Come’ has given me so much hope and gotten me through some dark days. I still miss him. I love to listen to that talk and hear his voice again. His faith strengthens mine.
My sister was murdered January 2021. I still can’t believe it. Messages like this and from our leaders during the general conference really help! I believe in the Plan of Salvation. I miss my sister 💔😪 Heavenly Father is with me. I hope my family feel the same. Much love to everyone going through any loss. 🙏🏼 Thank you for posting this! ❤️
If I may, I pray that you may feel the continuing existence of your sister. My wife has a powerful gift of the Spirit that allows us to continue to sense friends and family abiding with us from the spirit plane. I have a burning testimony of the spirit of Elijah; I know it's hard not to have loved ones in the flesh, especially when they die through tragedy, but, I know they are there. I hope and pray this may be something for you as well, that you may have a little peace. One dear friend battled cancer 8 times before departing mortality, but she is with me still.
@@jaklumen I sure appreciate the kind words! I suffer most knowing how she died. My faith and testimony is much better today than before so I’m healing much better. I feel your testimony and appreciate the kind comment! 😪😪🙏🏼
Friend... I am so sorry for what you had to go through. My heart goes out to you. I have never gone through what you have, but I do know that the Lord has. He loves you and your sister so much.. and has beautiful things in store for the both of you. 🤍
death is hard to understand when you haven't gone through it, and hard to talk about when you have, but this woman's account and the work put into telling it are very appreciated by me. I felt inspired to watch it, and hope when I did- thank you for giving Father another way to aide me; I actually feel important and loved.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! Our family has been hurting from a suicide and an unexpected death of a baby. That talk is a needed reminder of hope and comfort.
I am sorry for the losses your family is dealing with. I pray you will all heal completely through the power of the Lord and be comforted and feel the peace that only He can provide. 💖
Powerful message today thank you for sharing your story we all deal with death and grief in different ways brothers and sisters I love you and I pray for you
You have given me strength hearing your story. The Lord truly loves you and me. I lost my husband last November 2020. The only way to get strength to go on is because of my relationship with my Heavenly Father. Thank you for sharing your story!
I understand your deep despair and bright hope. I have felt those same feelings. My husband passed away last October after a difficult and challenging battle with mental illness and kidney cancer. I know the fear you feel- and I also know the hope. Coming out of the darkness into the light again takes a lot of courage. I can do all things through Christ. I now have to stand alone with my hope and faith to move forward. My heart aches for you- I will keep you in my prayers.
It's a tough topic. I am a survivor of suicide, at least twice over. Once, beyond my own half-hearted attempt to take my own life. Second, from a friend who didn't make it. A dear childhood friend. I caught up with him some years before I got married. He'd joined the Church, joined the Army, and we were in the local Young Single Adult branch together. My parents sent me the obituary notice; nothing I could have done as he was stationed in Germany, far from our home area in the States. It was years before I learned that my own unborn children were struggling to stop me from taking my life as a teenager. I couldn't do the same for my friend Tom, but since I'd been in similar shoes, I have no harsh judgment for him, no matter how much a few people have railed against me for it. I know a bit of the tender mercies of Jesus Christ, that our Savior loves and cares for Tom every bit as much as He does you and I.
@@michaelclausen3981 Thanks for taking a second chance. UA-cam has a filter for livestream chat and comments sections. I don't yet know what keywords cause it to activate, but it is frustrating, especially as I help moderate for a couple of narcissistic abuse recovery channels.
Suicide is a loss with so many dynamics, and it has been one of those losses that makes it hard to connect the grieving loved ones and friends to the true help that our Savior gives. I can't explain why it is except it is a taboo kind of death, and hurtful kind of death in that it can suggest intent not only in the death itself but its affects on those left behind. It is often one kind of loss I see folks struggle so much with, but that we seem to be avoiding even with a lot of effort being made to bring more support through the pages like the Church has created for anyone who my have ideas of suicide or have experienced impacts from it. So I do hope that Tom and his family are able to feel the comfort of the Spirit and find the healing of the Savior, and that your understanding as his friend is also a help to other of his friends.
@@plaidspolitics I think suicide often occurs due to a misunderstanding or lack of understanding of the Atonement. When I was younger, I wanted to die. A lot. I didn't try to take my life, but I didn't understand the value of it. If I had understood what I have come to understand, I do not think I would have wanted to die. But I needed refinement. And the Lord let me go through that. I sometimes still struggle feeling my worth, and in those times I reach out, often online (if you know the group Worldwide United, you know where I've been). Many prayers have been made on my behalf. And they have worked as I have let God prevail in my life.
I thought I would explain a little more about what I tried to say the first time. I am deeply sorry for the loss of your childhood friend and am greatly encouraged to see your faith in the savior. In the past, I had been having serious thoughts about my own worth to my family and if I was a burden (I guess this is common), and I considered it for a very long time. The experiences I had were so impactful that I have a hard time even explaining them. I too, know because you shared your experience, that I have children whom have helped me, and still help me. One of my sister's who was gone before I came, is absolutely without a doubt in my mind, assigned to all of my other siblings and I, to minister to and give comfort. I believe I hear her singing along to her favorite hymns when I'm on the way to Church. We have countless eternal members of our family, either through direct lineage or God's lineage who look over us and, "Return and report."
I've struggled a bit lately with pretty heavy things and wondering about how I could keep believing. This is an amazing, eye-opening testimony. Sunday will come.
Thank you for your sharing your amazing strength with a world in desperate need. Knowing ‘Sunday WILL Come” truly keeps us all moving forward through endless trials in mortality. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I wish I could believe that again. I feel weird praying now that I don’t feel close to Christ or Heavenly Father. The desire to be close to them is there at least.
We survive with & through Christ! He lives! I'm so grateful for living prophets & apostles that guide us to Jesus when we need Him the most. And so grateful for a Savior that brings me through those dark nights, bringing me to another Sunday morning! Thanks for sharing your testimony! Love you sister!
I do my best to remember that. I now have people to live for (e.g. my wife, kids, and some true friends), despite some very toxic and wicked traditions of my family of origin. It still hurts, but I am past any suicidal ideation.
My youngest brother, the baby of the family passed away on Sunday April 18th 2021. He lived in Weihai Chine with his young family. They all watched as his mortal life ended from a heart attack. Joe was a shining light for his family & taught his family that this is just one part of the journey back home. The rest of his family scattered around the globe have watched as that young family has shown so much faith that they will be with Joe on the other side of the vail. My heart breaks for each of them. I'll pass on the three words, "Sunday will come". Thank you for your faith it's inspiring.
My experience, Rex, is that Joe is checking up on all over you regularly. Well, I don't know that yet directly. My wife has a gift of the Spirit - discernment of spirits- most especially departed friends and family. During temple trips and ANY sort of genealogy (members and non-members alike), she will talk about what she hears from those departed individuals. I have been blessed just enough to have developed a little bit of this gift; I just can't articulate it the way she does. That's why I reckon Joe is checking in on you and all of his family.. because that's what my departed friends and family do. They aren't always in, as they go to see to others, but they can return in an instant. My gift, I reckon, has been more about remembering doing that myself, before I started drawing breath. Remembering promises made, and promises kept. Over and over I have been learning how the pieces fit together this way.
I have been taught about the Savior and Resurrection since I was a child. But since losing both of my parents and a dear friend the last couple of years, the Easter Season had brought new meaning to me as it hits much more personal and closer to my heart now. It means such hope and peace. Because I have been called an "orphan" with both parents passed on, as I turn to my Father in Heaven I know I have a parent I can talk to that loves and helps me. I don't feel alone or without parental support.
What a heartbreaking story. I've seen this lady on TV commercials how heartbreaking to hear of the other two deaths in her family besides her husband what a wonderful testimony she has
to those who are mourning the loss of dear loved ones . . . I hope you can find comfort in the thought that every day you are coming closer to when you will see them again💖
Thanks for husband service. God bless your family and thanks for sharing. I Pray for you and your children . Pray for the future. You are strong mother.
Sending you giant hugs and lots of encouragement. None of what happened was yours or your family's fault. Thank you for being brave enough to share your story with the world. Things will always get better. I hope you and all your family members can find comfort in each other. Hugs and prayers to you! 😘💚
I don’t know what to say, so many emotions rushing through my head. This beautiful woman and my sister in Christ has given me something to hold on to. Never will I forget this message of hope, and never will I forget those three words: “Sunday will come” These three words will sustain me through this rock bottom time in my life. Thank you doesn’t feel sufficed. Nonetheless, Thank you is all I have. I hope you will find happiness in knowing how you have touched me, and I’m sure so many others. You are loved and appreciated for your example and message of hope. ❤️
Thank you Jennie for this wonderful message and your incredible example of strength and courage. You are a beautiful person of faith and hope! God bless you and your family!
What a heart-wrenching story. I'm so happy to be associated with true saints that can continue to move forward in spite of terrible opposition. The courage is real and necessary. Thanks for living right and sharing it with us. It does have some parallels in my life and helps me see more clearly God's grace and support.
Thank you so much for sharing this tender message. You have been such an inspiration to the world. So greatful for our savior Jesus Christ and for The resurrection. Sunday will come.
Mental illness and suicide are very difficult topics. I too am a suicide attempt survivor and I'm still waiting. Yes, Sunday will come. The Lord will come. For those who are struggling, Get up and keep walking. Yes it's hard, yes I've been there and sometimes still am but keep moving. Everyone says they struggle all the time and yet, I'M STILL HERE!! Don't be telling me, "I dont understand." I do! The Lord does too! Jesus Christ as well! ..... I'm honestly getting sick of people looking for an easy way out because 10 years ago after my attempts, the only knowledge I've had was remembering the Savior. He didn't die on the cross so I can "give up". Are you worth it? YES YOU ARE. Am I worth it? YES! I apologize if this has seem "offensive" but someone needed to say it. Remember who you are... You are a child of a loving living God.
I'm not offended in the least bit.. see my other comment. I have survived suicide both through my own thoughts and despair, and through a friend that didn't make it. I do have my wife, kids, and a few dear friends to live for, but absolutely I'm still struggling. Yes, I agree with you; someone needed to say it, and I would that someone continues to say it, as some have short memories and can use the reminder. There are days I feel no one understands, except my master, Jesus. That's not to disrespect the people I mentioned, but I am coming to understand the depth of His sacrifice.
Only a true connection with God can allow someone to share a story like this without breaking down. She knows the Savior, she knows God, she has the influence of the Holy Ghost. She is full of strength, energy, optimism and authority. God bless her. This mortal experience... she is nailing it!
Thank you. I've had similar experiences in my life. Too many family deaths. One also a suicide. My husband dying of cancer this last year has been very hard. Yes, Sunday will come.
Hi Katherine, we're so sorry for your loss. We know comfort and healing can come through prayer and by relying on Jesus Christ at this difficult time. He loves you and can mend your heart and give you peace. www.comeuntochrist.org/beliefs/purpose-of-life/4-ways-to-cope-with-the-loss-of-a-loved-one?lang=eng
Thank you for sharing your story of faith and hope amidst such hardship. You are a shining example of going forward and persevering in faith. I remember Elder Wirthlin's talk, Sunday Will Come.
Thank you for your words and inspiration. I to lost my son to a mental illness which we were treating for over a decade, but one tragic might he took his own life. I know exactly what you’re going through and my wife was grief stricken until her passing in October 2020. I have become active in the church and I’m “all in” to do God’s work and have my wife and son sealed to me in the fall of 2021. Thank you for your testimony and faith. The words you help me with my thoughts.

I'm so thankful for this testimony! Her dedication and trust throughout all of her life despite the really hard things she went through really inspires me.
Brandi, we're so sorry to hear of your loss and pain. We wish we could reach out and give you a hug! Your faith in Jesus Christ will get you through, but we know grief is a heavy burden. Seek God's help, and seek help from friends and family, from your brothers and sisters in the gospel, and from professionals. We know Jesus Christ loves and is aware of you and your family. www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/grief?lang=eng&_r=1
I'm so sorry to hear this! My heart bleeds for you! I hope you can find the peace the the Lord gives us. He loves you! I know it for fact. You are important. You are wonderful. You are enough.
I had similar pain. I fasted for 24 hours and spent all day in the temple. Received a priesthood blessing that evening. The next morning the Spirit healed my broken heart! It was a miracle.

@@churchofjesuschrist Thank you for this, I'm dealing with a dying brother, my own possible death (another brother and I have cancer too) and particularly fallout from seeing murders a long time ago. This video and that link you've given are helping me as I really struggle with this. And that's despite knowing there's life beyond the grave, beyond doubt I know that. Thank you.
Today is Sunday. I really feel guided when I watched this beautiful message. I needed this. Thank you for sharing your testimony and devotion my sister in Zion. ❤️
My heart goes out for you Sister for your great faith!!!Be strong and of good courage always. I lost two brothers with one month gap only. It is our faith that we survived!!🙏🙏🙏
It is wonderful the strength this family has, and I am glad they are able to go forward in faith. I would love to have more inspirational videos showing how those who go through tragic loss do it when they are not prominent figures in the community, and do not have community support after the loss. Many Conference talks have emphasized the wonderful community that Latter-day Saints can offer to others who need to have support and how that community can mourn with you as you mourn. But what if the area you are in is not a strong community of Saints? What if there are other factors why your loss might go unnoticed? How does someone who experiences such loss connect to the healing of Christ through the comforting of the Spirit? As wonderful as this video is, I feel there are so many more unknown folks who are dearly known by the Savior who need to have us mourn with them, too. And I'd love to see the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints produce video(s) showing how to connect to that power to carry on even if you are not even noticed by those around you, or even if your loss is an "unspeakable" loss or a less comfortable loss or less honorable loss, etc. We know that we are Christ's hands, but it seems some are able to have His hands more in their times of need than others (Elder Renlund talked about this the past conference - how life isn't fair)... so maybe if we can be shown how to be lifted by Him even when we are not so noticeable, it would help those going through loss to gain the perspective and insight this family has shown in their difficult times.
Of course.. God's church is for EVERYONE, but if you feel (or ARE) "left out" during hard times, it's important to remember your PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. You'll be guided/prompted to those people, places, and things you need the MOST❣ God BLESS you!💞
Once when I was on my favorite Minecraft server, a small community but a nice one, I heard news of someone's passing, and I cried. The person I mourned for was the father of one of the admins on the server I knew quite well. I had heard he was sick, I prayed for him to get better, and a couple weeks later I heard he passed away. I never knew him, or talked to him, but I prayed for him, I cared for him, and when I heard the news, I was so sad, and I cried a long time. Thanks for this message.
At this time, this video is so needed. So many families have lost loved ones, many not able to attend their funeral due to lockdown last year. We lost two members of our family and had to grieve alone in our homes as visits were banned. 2020 will not be a year of happy memories. Hoping that soon in mid 2021 we can get together and remember them together. So miss singing in church, been well over a year since we have visited one. Not even the local church bells have rung since beginning of March 2020, so miss their sounds too. Attitudes have changed, notice it when we do venture out for short periods and it’s not good. People have become more closed with their friendliness not willing to talk with strangers anymore. Hope that will change as loneliness is a cruel place to be in now.
Aww, Praise be to God. Thank you to the Saviour for the price he paid so grief and darkness are momentary. Death doesn't have the final say because a loving Lord has atoned for us so that it isn't so. Thank you dear Sister for sharing your journey with us, May happiness, hope and peace surround you and your beautiful family everyday ♥️
So sorry for these men and their families and these parents. God bless. So much hurt for you. Also thx you for the father, husband, son who gave the ultimate sacrifice for others.
What a beautiful sister, inside and out! Thank you so very much, Sister, for this wonderful video and the pouring out of your heart!!!! To share with us and others about these hard things that have happened in your life, and how you coped and moved on with the help of the gospel and Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father!!!!
Sunday has come! I am grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ ❤️
Yea
Elder Wirthlin’s talk ‘Sunday Will Come’ has given me so much hope and gotten me through some dark days. I still miss him. I love to listen to that talk and hear his voice again. His faith strengthens mine.
I love that one so much! 💛
I love listening to the voices that mean and meant so much to me. Sometimes I can even hear their voices in my mind sometimes.
My sister was murdered January 2021. I still can’t believe it. Messages like this and from our leaders during the general conference really help! I believe in the Plan of Salvation. I miss my sister 💔😪 Heavenly Father is with me. I hope my family feel the same. Much love to everyone going through any loss. 🙏🏼 Thank you for posting this! ❤️

Thanks for this message, it's very powerful msg to me
STAY SAFE EVERYBODY GOD BLESS JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU
Amen.
Very beautiful message! Thanks for sharing your experience. May Heavenly Father continue to bless you and your family.
I don’t know what to say, so many emotions rushing through my head. This beautiful woman and my sister in Christ has given me something to hold on to. Never will I forget this message of hope, and never will I forget those three words: “Sunday will come”
These three words will sustain me through this rock bottom time in my life.
Thank you doesn’t feel sufficed. Nonetheless, Thank you is all I have. I hope you will find happiness in knowing how you have touched me, and I’m sure so many others. You are loved and appreciated for your example and message of hope. ❤️
Powerful message of hope :)
Thank you Jennie for this wonderful message and your incredible example of strength and courage. You are a beautiful person of faith and hope! God bless you and your family!
What a heart-wrenching story. I'm so happy to be associated with true saints that can continue to move forward in spite of terrible opposition. The courage is real and necessary. Thanks for living right and sharing it with us.
It does have some parallels in my life and helps me see more clearly God's grace and support.
Wow. The strength you have is admirable. Thank you for sharing your positivity in times of darkness. May God continue to bless you.
Thank you so much for sharing this tender message. You have been such an inspiration to the world. So greatful for our savior Jesus Christ and for The resurrection. Sunday will come.
I love her conviction. Easter really is the holiday of hope. Christ has risen and so will we.
Thank you for that. It was needed.
You’re an amazing amazing woman! Thank you for such wonderful faith! You inspire us all!
Mental illness and suicide are very difficult topics. I too am a suicide attempt survivor and I'm still waiting. Yes, Sunday will come. The Lord will come. For those who are struggling, Get up and keep walking. Yes it's hard, yes I've been there and sometimes still am but keep moving. Everyone says they struggle all the time and yet, I'M STILL HERE!! Don't be telling me, "I dont understand." I do! The Lord does too! Jesus Christ as well! ..... I'm honestly getting sick of people looking for an easy way out because 10 years ago after my attempts, the only knowledge I've had was remembering the Savior. He didn't die on the cross so I can "give up". Are you worth it? YES YOU ARE. Am I worth it? YES! I apologize if this has seem "offensive" but someone needed to say it. Remember who you are... You are a child of a loving living God.
Glad that you are still with us Justin. Brighter days ahead.
I'm not offended in the least bit.. see my other comment. I have survived suicide both through my own thoughts and despair, and through a friend that didn't make it. I do have my wife, kids, and a few dear friends to live for, but absolutely I'm still struggling. Yes, I agree with you; someone needed to say it, and I would that someone continues to say it, as some have short memories and can use the reminder. There are days I feel no one understands, except my master, Jesus. That's not to disrespect the people I mentioned, but I am coming to understand the depth of His sacrifice.

Wow... no words.... thank you...
Only a true connection with God can allow someone to share a story like this without breaking down. She knows the Savior, she knows God, she has the influence of the Holy Ghost. She is full of strength, energy, optimism and authority. God bless her. This mortal experience... she is nailing it!
God will wipe away all tears. The sufferings of the present are not worthy to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed in us.
Thank you. I've had similar experiences in my life. Too many family deaths. One also a suicide. My husband dying of cancer this last year has been very hard. Yes, Sunday will come.

Hugs ❤️this helps me survive me losing my cousin Nani to cancer
“Oh death where is thy sting, oh grave where is thy victory.”
Beautiful.
Thank you for your words and inspiration.
I to lost my son to a mental illness which we were treating for over a decade, but one tragic might he took his own life.
I know exactly what you’re going through and my wife was grief stricken until her passing in October 2020.
I have become active in the church and I’m “all in” to do God’s work and have my wife and son sealed to me in the fall of 2021.
Thank you for your testimony and faith. The words you help me with my thoughts.
Thanks for your comment and for sharing your faith. We're so sorry for your loss. We know comfort and healing can come through prayer and by relying on Jesus Christ at this difficult time. He loves you and can mend your heart and give you peace.

I'm so thankful for this testimony! Her dedication and trust throughout all of her life despite the really hard things she went through really inspires me.

Thank you for sharing this very personal story. Its helpful
Hallelujah Amen
Incredible message thank you ♥️
The tears and the hurt is so real. The pain is so unbearable at times.. Most days i want to give up. My husband died by suicide July of 2020.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brandi, we're so sorry to hear of your loss and pain. We wish we could reach out and give you a hug! Your faith in Jesus Christ will get you through, but we know grief is a heavy burden. Seek God's help, and seek help from friends and family, from your brothers and sisters in the gospel, and from professionals. We know Jesus Christ loves and is aware of you and your family. www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/grief?lang=eng&_r=1
I'm so sorry to hear this! My heart bleeds for you! I hope you can find the peace the the Lord gives us. He loves you! I know it for fact. You are important. You are wonderful. You are enough.
That’s so sad. Please don’t give up. 😭❤️❤️
I had similar pain. I fasted for 24 hours and spent all day in the temple. Received a priesthood blessing that evening. The next morning the Spirit healed my broken heart! It was a miracle.
I’ve lost my dad, my brother, a 2 yr old niece and my 15 yr old nephew killed himself. The only way I cope is knowing I will see them again.
We're so sorry for your loss, Janine. We know comfort and healing can come through prayer and by relying on Jesus Christ at this difficult time. He loves you and can mend your heart and give you peace. www.comeuntochrist.org/beliefs/purpose-of-life/4-ways-to-cope-with-the-loss-of-a-loved-one?lang=eng
@@churchofjesuschrist Thank you for this, I'm dealing with a dying brother, my own possible death (another brother and I have cancer too) and particularly fallout from seeing murders a long time ago. This video and that link you've given are helping me as I really struggle with this. And that's despite knowing there's life beyond the grave, beyond doubt I know that. Thank you.
Lovely video!
Today is Sunday. I really feel guided when I watched this beautiful message. I needed this. Thank you for sharing your testimony and devotion my sister in Zion. ❤️
This was so powerful. Thanks for sharing your story.
very inspiring. thank you
My heart goes out for you Sister for your great faith!!!Be strong and of good courage always. I lost two brothers with one month gap only. It is our faith that we survived!!🙏🙏🙏
I remember when her husband was killed - sad for us all (OEF).
It is wonderful the strength this family has, and I am glad they are able to go forward in faith. I would love to have more inspirational videos showing how those who go through tragic loss do it when they are not prominent figures in the community, and do not have community support after the loss. Many Conference talks have emphasized the wonderful community that Latter-day Saints can offer to others who need to have support and how that community can mourn with you as you mourn. But what if the area you are in is not a strong community of Saints? What if there are other factors why your loss might go unnoticed? How does someone who experiences such loss connect to the healing of Christ through the comforting of the Spirit? As wonderful as this video is, I feel there are so many more unknown folks who are dearly known by the Savior who need to have us mourn with them, too. And I'd love to see the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints produce video(s) showing how to connect to that power to carry on even if you are not even noticed by those around you, or even if your loss is an "unspeakable" loss or a less comfortable loss or less honorable loss, etc. We know that we are Christ's hands, but it seems some are able to have His hands more in their times of need than others (Elder Renlund talked about this the past conference - how life isn't fair)... so maybe if we can be shown how to be lifted by Him even when we are not so noticeable, it would help those going through loss to gain the perspective and insight this family has shown in their difficult times.
Of course.. God's church is for EVERYONE, but if you feel (or ARE) "left out" during hard times, it's important to remember your PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. You'll be guided/prompted to those people, places, and things you need the MOST❣
God BLESS you!💞
Once when I was on my favorite Minecraft server, a small community but a nice one, I heard news of someone's passing, and I cried. The person I mourned for was the father of one of the admins on the server I knew quite well. I had heard he was sick, I prayed for him to get better, and a couple weeks later I heard he passed away. I never knew him, or talked to him, but I prayed for him, I cared for him, and when I heard the news, I was so sad, and I cried a long time. Thanks for this message.
That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. You are strong, beautiful, and an inspiration.
At this time, this video is so needed. So many families have lost loved ones, many not able to attend their funeral due to lockdown last year. We lost two members of our family and had to grieve alone in our homes as visits were banned. 2020 will not be a year of happy memories. Hoping that soon in mid 2021 we can get together and remember them together. So miss singing in church, been well over a year since we have visited one. Not even the local church bells have rung since beginning of March 2020, so miss their sounds too. Attitudes have changed, notice it when we do venture out for short periods and it’s not good. People have become more closed with their friendliness not willing to talk with strangers anymore. Hope that will change as loneliness is a cruel place to be in now.
Thank you so much for the light the talk brought me!
Aww, Praise be to God. Thank you to the Saviour for the price he paid so grief and darkness are momentary. Death doesn't have the final say because a loving Lord has atoned for us so that it isn't so. Thank you dear Sister for sharing your journey with us, May happiness, hope and peace surround you and your beautiful family everyday ♥️
Thank you for sharing, you are a wonderful and spiritual sister.
What beautiful faith you have Jennie. Thank you for sharing.
So sorry for these men and their families and these parents. God bless. So much hurt for you. Also thx you for the father, husband, son who gave the ultimate sacrifice for others.
What a beautiful sister, inside and out! Thank you so very much, Sister, for this wonderful video and the pouring out of your heart!!!! To share with us and others about these hard things that have happened in your life, and how you coped and moved on with the help of the gospel and Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father!!!!
"My holiday of Hope" Thanku Sister
