Man Preslere this is to unreal! However, I understand the times we live in. I wish this hadn’t come so soon. I wish we were well into our 80’s and then we’d see bad backs disrespectful knees and what not. Getting old is our portion not untimely premature death. My prayer is for Yahuah to keep your family to give them Shalum (peace).
Yahuah bless you, and guard you: Yahuah make his face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: Yahuah lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26 את CEPHER
