Richard was such a warm-hearted person never seen without a huge smile on his face.I remember how sweet he was to everyone and he trully will be missed.John 16:33 tells us,"In the world you WILL have tribulation." Even GODS children are not promised a life of ease, of prosperity, nor of good health, yet we are never alone in our troubles.Isiah43:2 reminds us that when we pass through deep waters GOD is with us.Although we dont always understand GODS purposes in the trials we experience we can trust HIS heart because we know HIM.Our GOD is a GODof abundant love and "neither death nor life...nor things present nor things to come (will ever) seperate us from that love.His presence is His promise.....
