Safely Home 
I am home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! 
There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. 
All the pain and grief is over. Every restless tossing passed; 
I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. 
Didyou wonder why I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh! but Jesus' love illumined Ever dark andfearful glade. 
And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; 
And with Jesus' arm to lean on Could I have one doubt or dread? 
Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still; 
Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust our Father's will. 
There is work still waitingfor you, So you must not idly stand; 
Do it now, while life remainethYou shall rest in Jesus' land. 
When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come!

Perhaps you sent a lovely card, Or sat quietly in a chair 
Perhaps you sent beautiful flowers If so, we saw them there. 
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, As any friend could say; 
Perhaps you were not there at all, Just thought of us that day. 
Whatever you did to console our hearts, We thank you so much whatever the part.

The Story of You 
We only have one life to live and each day of our life we are writing our life's story. The story that will be talked about and reported by others. 
In the book of Matthew the 11 th Chapter, John sent his disciples to ask Jesus was he the one or should they look for another. Jesus replied, "Go back and tell John what you hear and see. The blind received their sight, the lame walked, the sick were healed, the deaf could hear, the dead were raised and the good news was preached to the poor." The life of Jesus spoke for him. 
Do you want the life you are living to speak for you when you are dead and in your grave? You can change the way your story reads and the way it will be told. By repenting ofyour sins and asking Jesus to come in to your life and allowing him to rewrite your life's story. Ifyou confess with your mouth and believe it in your heart thatjesus is the Son of God and diedforyour sins and 
was raisedfrom the dead thy shall be saved. For with the heart man 
believes unto righteounessand with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans I 0: .9-10 
As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
