And some encouraging
words to all of us who will miss her.
There are some things
I'd like to say, but first of all, know that I arrived okay. I'm
writing
this from Heaven, where I dwell with God above. Where there are
no more tears or sadness,
there is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because
I'm out of sight, remember
that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to
leave you when my life on Earth was through, God picked me up
and hugged
me and He said "I welcome you. It's good to have you back
again, you were missed while you
were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly as
part of My big plan, there's so much that we have to do to help
our mortal man."
Then God gave me
a list of things He wished for me to do and foremost on that list
of mine, is
to watch and care for you. And I will be beside you every day
and week and year and when
you're sad I'm standing there to wipe away the tears. But do not
be afraid to cry, it does
relieve the pain. Remember, there would be no flowers unless there
was some rain.
I wish I could tell
you of all that God has planned, but if I were to tell you, you
wouldn't
understand. But one thing is for certain though my life on Earth
is o'er, I am closer to you now
than I ever was before.
And to my many friends,
trust God knows what is best. I'm still not far away from you,
I'm
just beyond the crest. There are rocky roads ahead of you. If
you can help somebody who is in
sorrow or in pain then you can say to God at night, my day was
not in vain.
And now, I'm contented
that my life it was worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the
way, I
made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is down and feeling
low, just lend a hand to
pick him up as on your way you go.
When your walking
down the street and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in
your
footsteps only half a step behind. And when you feel the gentle
breeze or the wind upon your
face, that's me giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.
And when it's time
for you to go from that body to be free, remember you're not going,
you're coming here to me. And I will always love you from that
land way up above. We'll be in touch again soon.
PS...God send's
His love.

But they that
wait upon the Lord will renew their strength; they will
mount up with wings as eagles; they will run, and not be weary;
and
they will walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
FAITHFUL IS HE WHO HAS PROMISED
Are you passing through a testing.
Is your pillow wet with tears?
Do you wonder what the reason,
Why it seems God never hears?
Why it is you have no answer
To your oft--repeated plea,
Why the heaven still is leaden
As you wait on bended knee?
Do you wonder as you suffer,
Whether God does understand,
And if so, why He ignores you,
Fails to hold you in His Hand?
Do black doubts creep in, assail
you,
Fears without--and fears within,
Till your brave heart almost falters
And gives way to deadly sin?
All God's testings have a purpose-
Someday you will see the light.
All He asks is that you trust Him,
Walk by faith and not by sight.
Do not fear when doubts beset you,
Just remember--He is near;
He will never, never leave you,
He will always, always hear.
Faithful is He who has promised,
He will never let you fall,
Daily will the strength be given
Strength for each and strength for all.
He will gladly share pain with you,
He will gladly give you peace.
Till your tired and weary body
Finds its blessed, glad release.
When the darkened veil is lifted,
Then, dear heart, you'll understand
Why it is you had to suffer,
Why you could not feel His hand.
Giving strength when it was needed,
Giving power and peace within
Giving joy thru tears and trial,
Giving victory over sin.
So till then just keep on trusting,
Thru the sunshine and the rain,
Thru the tears and thru the heartaches,
Thru the smiles and thru the pain.
Knowing that our Father watches,
Knowing daily strength He'll give,
Victory for each passing hour,
This is life, so let us live!
