The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Ecclesiastes 9:9, “Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days

of your fleeting life which He has given to you under the sun; for this is

your reward in life and in your toil in which you have labored under the sun.”

This is a reward that I do not deserve. Yes, I have enjoyed life with

Nana for 62 years! She is my love. And both of our days are “fleeting.”

What is most important is to know and acknowledge that our lives

(and our life together) is a gift from the LORD.

Thank you so much for making her 83RD Birthday the Grand Time it was!

Third John 1:4 says, “I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children

walking in the truth.” While that is true of the LORD regarding us, it is

also true of us as it regards you. Nana prays exceedingly for her

children and for you! If there is any “success” in my ministry, it lies at

the foot of her prayers for me. All of this will become clearer to you

as you grow older. There will come a day when Nana and I are not

here. What you will have are memories. What we want is to know that

you, our children, are walking faithfully with the LORD.

We love you abundantly!

Nana & Dado III
