PEACE IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM by Rich Abante
Jesus Rides in my Vessel, So I Fear No Alarm...He Gives Me Peace in the Midst of My Storm
I will honor the memory of military service members I served with, dead family members who served, RallyPoint friends who have died, and USMA classmates who died while serving or since.
I pray for the spouses of each who died that the LORD will bless each with peace and joy as they grieve.
Images: Romans 15:32-33 ‘that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company. May the God of peace be with you all. Amen.’
