For I came to the end of this life's journey, and God was
there waiting for me and He said,
"You have been a good and faithful servant, and I
welcome you into a land where you will
never grow old".
To my loved ones, "This land is
paved with gold. I am walking
around heaven and I met all
of my loved ones. If you have to cry
for me, cry for a little while. Let it be
tears of joy for me,
not because I have left you on earth.
There is work still waiting for you, so you must not
stand idle. Do your work while life
remainth. One day you shall rest in Jesus' land and I
will be waiting to see you then.
Trust in God's Holy Words and live your life as we have
talked about and I will see you in
this beautiful land on high.
Remember all of my pain and grief is over and I am now
at peace forever. God said He would
take care of me, and He did. And I know He will take
care of you".
