In Memory of C.KT

Matthew 25:21 NIV

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

He called you

Home to your

Reward

Free from pain

Or sorrow

He welcomed you

In.

And the joy

You must have

Felt seeing the face

Of our Savior

Basking in the presence

Of his glory.

And though we

Grieve for a time

We celebrate

Too

Knowing

We will be united

Again

If only

We believe.

Our tears our normal

A time for joy

A time for sorrow

A time for laughter

A time for tears

And for those who

Knew you

We will always remember

The laughter

The playful banter

The way you brought

Joys to others

Especially the children.

This isn’t a final goodbye

Because we will see

You again

When our name is called

And we receive our

Reward!

I very nearly let someones opinion disuade me from sharing pieces like this, but I felt the Lord telling me to continue sharing the words he gave me, life is full of joy, but its full of sorrow, its not something you can pretend away, but it is something we can get through with prayer!
