u God saw the road was getting rough. The hills were hard to climb. He gently closed his loving eyes and whispered peace be thine. The weary hours, the days of pain, the sleepless nights are passed. The ever patient worn out frame has found sweet rest at last."

For I am already being poured out as a during offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race,! have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid upon me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
2 Timothy 4: 6-8
