Life and Death

I just got this from my friend who had asked us to pray for Brennan:

Brennan passed away last week. His uncle and wife who lives here (CA) were able to go to the funeral. The night Brennan died he told his mom that he wanted to give his "Mamaw" a birthday present. You see his "Mamaw"(his grandmother, his mom’s mom) is in heaven and that the next morning was her birthday. Well that little guy gave his Mamaw a gift - he gave himself and on her birthday.
Thank you for your prayers and please continue to pray for his parents, Kristi and Albert, that they will stay together and survive the struggle of losing their son.

Along with this news, my daughter-in-law's grandfather, Bill Kee, passed away this past Sunday morning. Bob and I were able to be with the family at the time of his passing from this earthly life to his heavenly one. Would you join me in praying for Peggy, his wife of 48 years, and the rest of the family who are already missing his presence with them.
It is such a sobering reminder of the finality of death. I pray that each one of you has accounted for this inevitable journey into eternity and you are ready for what lies ahead.

John 3:14-16 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"
