To Dr Givens and Family: Our prayers transcend all circumstance and time. Our strength and courage is the Lord, and He has been our Savior. It must seem so unfair--this disparity in your life what with the passing of another family monarch. Remember it's God who will see you through. Psalm 27:4 reads: One thing I ask of the Lord; this I seek: To dwell in the Lord's house all the days of my life, to gaze on the Lord's beauty, to visit His temple. Death points to us where Life is found which is Christ. Theus Givens is truly in the Lord's house. Next time you look in the evening sky know that your grandfather is helping God to arrange the stars for night. Let His Spirit be with you in this time of sorrow. God Bless you all.
