Empty

A place on earth is empty
A voice we loved is gone.
Yet in the memories of our heart,
the love we knew lives on.

In God's redeeming purpose,
we cannot always know
the reason for the sad times
that we must undergo.

And yet our faith assures us
God's love and strength will be
sufficient for our days on earth -
and all eternity.

~

Our tears fall silently,
our hearts grieve quietly...

but God hears our cries
and shares our sorrow.

Welcome Home

Each of us is given
Precious time to spend on earth,
But we know the journey leads us
To a home of greater worth.

Sometimes the Father takes us
Down a path not of our choice,
But when it lead to heaven,
How our hearts and souls rejoice!

And earthly cares all vanish
When at last we hear God say,
"Welcome home, My precious child,
I led you all the way."

Safe In The Arms of
Jesus

He is not only
holding your loved one
at this time,

He will also
tenderly hold you,
lovingly comfort you,
and faithfully walk
with you
every step of he way.
