Dear Jake and family,
Our thoughts and prayers remain with all of you during this difficult time. We pray that you will feel the love of our Father, the presence of His arms around you as He carries you all through this time.
I remember the time that we met each other. It’s stil long ago. Always a warm welcome in your house.
Revelation 21:1-4 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Christians greetings,
Herman en José Dijk
