Robert Lee (Jr.) Haynes

"The Lord Giveth and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord" (Job 1:21). Sometimes, God lends the world His children only for a little while. No parent plans to bury his or her child but when God sends His Angels to bring His child home; much sooner than we planned, we'll brave the grief that comes and try to understand. 

“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
