Philippians 4:13

Last night I was going through some old papers and found a note from my brother in 1996. We were homeschooling at the time and I was having some difficulty with Math and I felt like a complete and utter failure. There would always be a huge dramatic display at this time of day because I wanted to do well but I was not doing well and I was extremely frustrated.

My dear Sister:
I just want you to know that I am praying for you every time it comes time for you to do your math. I know you are frustrated. You are not stupid. Just remember Philippians 4:13. I love you! You can do it!!!
Love,
Landen
Today has been 1 year and a half since Landen left us.
"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."
How wonderful to have had a brother to remind me of just that.
