Sad News!! Bro. Vern Roundy passed away this last friday. We are going to miss him and want sweet Glenda to know how much we love her. I had a chance to visit with her yesterday and she is an amazing lady. Going through chemo herself, she still has a smile on her face and wanting to bear this challenge with courage and steadfastness. We had the discussion about God not giving us or letting us have more than we can bear. Wow!! I think that Glenda has had about more than she can bear at this point, but we also talked about what that meant.
1 Corinthians 10:13--There hath no tempatation (trial) taken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted (or tried) above that ye are able; but will with the temptation (trial) also make a way to escape that ye may be able to bear it.
If we will turn to the Lord, he will help us find ways to be delivered. The tender mercies of the Lord surround us and are with us always.
1 Nephi 1:20--But behold, I, Nephi will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, becuase of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance.
Mosiah 24:14--And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their affictions.
These scriptures have given me great comfort in times of need.
Please pray for the Roundy's. Glenda and her family will need those blessings at this very sad and difficult time.
