The years on Earth are short lived compared to that of Heaven. Those honers le leaders who a4e a testimony of the Lord just shows that it’s the Lord who calls the time. It’s a great testament of how attentive, articulate they are & I hope to be a little light compared to those who speak volumes of their experiences & testify of our Lord Jesus Christ which is admirable!
