May Your Family Find Comfort During This Difficult Time.

Jesus Christ said at Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all YOU who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh YOU. Take my yoke upon YOU and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and YOU will find refreshment for YOUR souls. 30 For my yoke is kindly and my load is light.

Jesus offers to help us pull our load! We do not have to do it in our own strength.

Regards,

Melenie Berkey
