Misfortune #52Ancestors 52 Weeks

As I went through my family connection list, I was thinking about my relatives.  I saw so much sadness.  May the LORD guide us through our misfortunes. Amen. This blog is in memory of some who passed to soon and those who had to live through their suffering.

Thanks for reading.
God bless you.

We all have misfortune in our family lineage. Relatives died too soon. People separate / divided through divorce or whatever, encounters with the law. There are children who were born with a disability and some relatives who became disabled, relatives losing apart of their body parts or were injured. 

Sickness comes. It's having to live life with something missing or having to suffer through the pain....There are some who have taken their own lives and some didn't have a chance to live at birth.
