Praying for Peace and comfort
Psalm 23
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
Dale was a Drumm Farm brother where we grew up together and learned our life values; I will always remember him and miss our talks so long for now and God bless.
Daddy it’s still hard for me to believe that you are gone. A cardinal has appeared twice at your house. I can’t help but think that it is you. I asked you for a sign. You gave me one. I love and miss you so much. Life will never be the same without you here. Fly high and rest easy.
Well daddy your military honors at your was yesterday and it was beautiful. We were honored to be there. I hope you were pleased with it. I love and miss you very much. Still can’t believe you are gone.
Well daddy I’m back in Maryland and I miss you even more. I ordered a case for your flag. I love you so much daddy. I hope you send me a sign to tell me that you are here with me. Thinking of you always.
