2000 days without you,my darling son Aboyowa. Friday 9th February 2017.
Love you each & every minute of every day.
Wisdom 3,1-9
The Souls of the righteous are in the hands of God,
and no torment shall touch them.
They seemed,in the view of the foolish,to be dead;
and their passing away was thought an affliction
and their going forth from us,an utter destruction.
But they are in peace.
For if to others,indeed,they seem punished,
yet is their hope full of immortality;
Chastised a little,they shall be greatly blessed,
because god tried them and found them worthy of himself.
As gold in the furnace,he proved them,
and as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself.
In the time of their judgment they shall shine,\
and dart about as sparks through stubble;
They shall judge nations and rule over peoples,
and the Lord shall be their King forever.
Those who trust him shall understand truth,
and the faithful shall abide in him in love:
because grace and mercy are with his holy ones,
and his care is with the elect.
This candle was first lit on the 9th of February 2018 and will burn for 93 years 8 months and 22 days.
