LOVED THE LORD

READ THE WHOLE BIBLE TO HER GRANDFATHER SEVERAL TIME

TALKED TO JESUS IN HER BEDROOM ALL THE TIME

SHE WAS NOT AFRAID OF DEATH SHE NEW JESUS WAS READY FOR HER

LOVED HER KIDS AND WAS WILLING TO TAKE IN PEOPLE WHO NEEDED A PLACE TO STAY.

Philippians 1:21 ESV

21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

1- A NEW BODY

1 Corinthians 15:42 ESV

42 So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable.

1 Corinthians 15:42 ESV

42 So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable.

2- A NEW HOME

Hebrews 11:16 ESV

16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

3- A NEW INHERITANCE.

John 1:12 ESV

12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,

John 1:12 ESV

12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free, I’m following paths God made for me I took his hand, I heard him call Then turned, and bid farewell to all

I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to sing, to play Tasks left undone must stay that way I found my peace … at close of play

And if my parting left a void Then fill it with remembered joy A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened… deep with sorrow I wish you sunshine of tomorrow My life’s been full I’ve savored much Good friends, good times

A loved one’s touch Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee God wanted me now He set me free. Author unknown

Love And Go On

You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that shell come back or you can open your eyes and see all shes left. Your heart can be empty because you cant see her or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that shes gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what shed want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
