The great Physician now is near,

the sympathizing Jesus;

He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,

oh! hear the voice of Jesus.

 

Refrain:

 

Sweetest note in seraph song,

sweetest name on mortal tongue;

sweetest carol ever sung,

Jesus, blessed Jesus.

Dearly Beloved,

Warm greetings coming from the home of the Malm Family back here in Ghana (West Africa).

We thank God for His everlasting mercy and steadfast love towards us. He has blessed us with a new month, may His Name be praised.

Isaiah 43:1-3 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

The first and second quarters of this year have been a very trying period for the entire family. Especially our mother, Millicent, who happened to have lost her last two surviving brothers two months apart.

Donald, the last of the five siblings, had passed away on the 25th of March 2022, and Lawrence, the eldest of the five, passed on, too, on the 24th of May 2022. They have since been both laid to rest on the 25th of June 2022 at the Families Royal Mausoleum.

Our mother, Millicent, has been in a state of shock for the past month. But God’s grace has been sufficient and she is getting better day by day. Your continuous prayers have helped in these trying times and we are most grateful.

As the world goes through difficult times and our faith is always put a test as Christians, let us keep encouraging and praying for each other so that we can be able to stand for the Word always.

We are indeed grateful to be a part of this great family.

God bless and keep us all.

Shalom.

From the Malm Family on Behalf of Milicent Malm
