The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

2 Corinthians 4:17-18, “For momentary, light affliction is producing for us

an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,

18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which

are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things

which are not seen are eternal.”

Everyone has troubles. We all do. Paul was no exception. He had

troubles, too. But, he had learned how to handle trouble; and he

passes what he learned to us for our benefit. The troubles we have

are just for the moment and easy to bear. Moreover, they are

producing a glory that is eternal and superior to anything we know.

We always look at what we can see, but there are things we cannot

see that are vastly superior. And all that is taking place in our lives

is ultimately for His glory and for our benefit. It all concerns the

matter of faith, believing and trusting in God. So, don’t worry. Everything will turn out well.

We love you all and pray for you daily,

Nana & Dado III
