A few comments from King Charles III's proclamation speeches;‘I shall strive to follow the inspiring example that has been set…’‘Even as we grieve, we give thanks for her life well lived’
We have a royal opportunity to have something in common with Queen Elizabeth;Through faith in Jesus Christ, to set an inspiring example and to leave behind a life well livedto honour the King of kings and Lord of lords
The family of believers in Jesus, is the greatest royal family of all!Everyone is welcome🙏
John 3:16-17 NIVFor God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Far more than merely moments spring from time’s volatile fountWhere life runs rife with choices for which we will give accountAs step by step and day by day we all advance towardLast Breath, when this world slips away and we will meet the Lord
What earnest heed we ought to give to what we do and sayBetween the past and future, we live always in TodayWhere no one knows how near or far its final grant will beOr when the person that we are becomes A Memory
The common ground of opportunity is made of dirtA momentous velocity of happiness and hurtWhere we all share the common need, however rich or poorOf faith in Jesus Christ; He alone keeps the soul secure
This is the day the Lord has made; oh, will it be our last?Not all will see its shadow laid to rest in ages pastLord, help us live as if today could be the steppingstone when life on earth is done

Col.1:9-13For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
