To every thing there is a season, a time to every purpose under the
heaven:
.
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to
pluck up that .which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time
to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to
embrace, and a tie to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to CASt
away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time
to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of
peace.

PLease don't StrJ that I gave up...just say, I gave in. Don't say I lost the battle, for it was God's war to lose or wtn.
Please don't StrJ how good I was, but that I did my best~ Just say, I tried to do what was right, to give the most I could, not to do less.
Please don't give me wings or halo, that's for God to do. I want to more than I deserve, no extras, just my due.
Don't be concerned about me now, I'm well with God...I've made it home.
Don't talk about what could have been, it's over, and it's done. Just see to all my family's needs, the battle has been won.
When you draw a picture of me, don't draw me as a saint. I've done some good...I've done some wrong.
So use all your paint, not just the bright and light tone...use some gray and dark.
In fact, don't put me down on canvas, paint me in your heart. Don'~ just remember good times, but remember some bad.
For life is full of many things, some happy and some sad.
But ifyou must do something, that I have one last request...
Forgive me for the wrong I've done and with the love that's
left.
1hank God, for my soul's resting...
1hank God, for I've been blessed.
1hank God, for all who love me... Praise God, who loves me best.
1 foue you all. ..
