HOME AT LAST
Welcome, dear child, you are home at last, and now the burden of living is past. There's worl< for you in my kingdom, dear, and you are needed and wanted here. We can not understand his WRJ'S nor can we count our earthly days. But who are we to question and doubt, God knoweth well what he's about. So, weep not, she's just gone on ahead. Don't think of her as being dead: she's out of sight for a little while and you'll miss her touch, and her big smile. But you know she is safe in the home above where there is nothing but peace and love. And, surely you would not deny her peace; and you're glad she has found release. Think of her as a soul that is free and home at last, where she
wanted to be.
