Armando Garcia

The Bible says: “A good name is better than good oil, and the day of death is better than the day of birth.”
How can the day of our death be better than the day of our birth?
When we are born, we have not yet done anything with our life, either good or bad. But when we use our life to serve Jehovah and do good for others, we build “a good name,” or reputation, and Jehovah will remember us even after we have died.
And that’s what Armando did
He served his God Jehovah faithfully and always did good for others.
