On mourning
We thank God for friends He places in our paths. May we always make an effort to see them as gifts, to treat them with love and respect. And when their time on earth is through, may we graciously accept their being given back to God.
Proverbs 27:9
Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel.
Lamentations 3:22-24
Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I hope in Him.
