To the family of Ruth Lundin: I am so sorry for your loss. I know that at first it may seem impossible to cope, but what has helped me in times past are the Bible's promises for the future. For instance, the promise we have in the twenty-fourth chapter of the book of Acts reveals that there will , “be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.� (Verse 15) I love that scripture because it gives us hope that we can see all of our loved ones that we have lost in death once more. At first it may seem too good to be true, but most of God's word is focused on telling us how this and many other prophecies in the Bible will come true. Such promises always help me to see that God does care about each of us and since He, like a loving parent, hates to see us suffer He soon plans on getting rid of tragedies that we now have to face. There are so many more promises in the Bible that can encourage us both now and in the future, but I hope this brief scripture helped you as much as it has me in the past. With sincere sympathy, Candace
