As jy na 25 dae in die hospitaal self in die buitelug kan uitstap met n ander mens se hart wat in jou borskas klop. Een wat die Here vir jou gegee het om verder mee te leef. En om dan boonop die ou jaar saam met jou gesin so te kan uitstap. Wie ontvang sulke genade? Al wat ek arms omhoog kon uitprewel was...prys die Here...Dankie Here. Dankie Vader vir elkeen wat hierdie boodskap lees. Dankie vir julle almal wat gehoorsaam aan Hom was en bly bid en ondersteun het. Hy het my deur julle hierdeur gedra. Ek en my gesin bid nou vir julle dat julle ook met nuwe geestelike harte en nuwe dankbaarheid die nuwe jaar instap om in 2019 met alle eer aan Hom te leef. Ons almal het in Jesus n 2e kans op die lewe ontvang. LB 6
