My Father's way may twist and turn,
My heart may throb and ache,
But in my soul I'm glad I know,
He maketh no mistake.
There's so much now I cannot see,
My eyesight's far too dim;
But come what may I'll simply trust
And leave it all to Him.
For by and by the mist will lift
And plain it all He'll make,
Throughout all the ways,
Though dark to me,
He made not one mistake.
It may be that you called and offered a word of
encouragement. It may be that you stopped by and shared
a ministry of presence. It may be that you sent a card
containing a message of comfort. It may be that you
thought of us and said a prayer asking heavens peace. It
may be that you offered support by your presence at this
service. However, and whatever way, you have ministered,
because of you, we made it. We extend our deepest,
warmest, and most sincere thanks.

When tomorrow starts without me, And Im not there to
see. If the sun should rise and find your eyes, All filled
with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldnt cry the
way you did today, while thinking of the many things,
we didnt get to say. I know how much you love me, as
much as I love you, and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too; but when tomorrow starts
without me, please try to understand, that an angel
came and called my name, and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready, in heaven far above, and
that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love; but
as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all
my life, I'd always thought, I didnt want to die. I had so
much to live for, so much left yet to do, it almost seemed
impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the
yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all
the love we shared, and all the fun we had. If I could
relive yesterday, just even for a while, Id say good-bye
and kiss you, and maybe see you smile; but then I fully
realized, that this could never be, for emptiness and
memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss
come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my
heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through
heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked
down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne, he
said, This is eternity, and all Ive promised you. Tbday
your life on earth is past, but here life starts anew. I
promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and
since each days the same way there's no longing for the
past. You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew
you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now
at last youre free. So wont you come and take my hand
and share my life with me? So when tomorrow starts
without me, dont think were far apart, for every time
you think of me, Im right here, in your heart.
