Although we are grieving Dan\u2019s death, God has manifested Himself through great compassion and unfailing love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A week before Dan died we had the opportunity to laugh and reminisce about old times. In the 1950\u2019s when we were quite young we pretty much had the run of San Francisco. We\u2019d buy a fifty cent bus pass that allowed us to ride every bus and Trolly car all day long. What a blast. The only instruction from our parents was to be home for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those were the days when our imaginations kept us entertained. We pretended our neighborhoods were old western towns and open prairies. Our heroes were Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger and Hopalong Cassidy. We were the \u201cgood guys\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you, Dan, &nbsp;for your love and friendship and for making my childhood fun and exciting. &nbsp;I love you. This song\u2019s for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;Danny Boy&quot; | GENTRI Covers\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KZ3E7kIYtR0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Accounting of God\u2019s Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I grieve the loss of a loved one, do I experience God\u2019s compassion and love?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Absorbing God\u2019s Word \u201cThough he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.\u201d Lamentations 3:32 Applying God\u2019s Word My cousin Danny passed away two months ago.
