"Do not let your heart be troubled, trust in God; trust also in me. In my Fathers house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. 1 am going there to prepare a place for you. And ifI go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way the place where I am going.
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
"You heard me say, I am going away and I am coming back to you. If you loved me, you would be glad I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe."
JOHN 14:1-4, 27-29

When I Must Leave You
When I must leave you for a little while Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hi4g your sorrow to you through the years. But start out bravely with a gallant smile
Andfor my sake and in His name Live on and do all things the same Feed not your loneliness on empty days Butfill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near And never, never be afraid to die For I am waitingfor you in the Sky!
