beyond the valley of the shadow of death

I read this today from Spurgeon and thanked God that neither mum nor dad were aware of the great deal of pain, sorrow, and anguish that could have surrounded their agonizing deaths.

There were kept, strengthened and welcomed into His Arms peacefully and with abundant joy.

I still slob..yes that too, sob as I remember their deaths. but also of the Godly lives they lived... even tho I strayed so far from mum's love.
