May Baby Ruth Teal Hobden RIP, she challenged scripture in years"...For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be, and the work of their hands my chosen ones will use to the full." Isaiah 65:22. Sometimes words can't even begin to take away the hurt, pain and void but let it be a loyal heart sure with prayers and many Psalms in mourning and in joy let His will be done in Heaven and on Earth. Matthew 6:9,10; Psalms 37:11; 1 Corinthians 15:55
