For all of us....by Sugar

Many in J-Land lost a dear online friend when Penny passed away Monday morning, she was so strong, such a fighter, she had beaten Leukemia once before, & we all had hopes she would do it again. She was a young woman, who believed strongly in God & the Everafter...so we take peace in that, and knowing that she is where she is supposed to be at this time, with her Maker.
This post is for her friends & loved ones...& for ALL of you that have lost dear ones...

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO MOURN, FOR THEY WILL BE COMFORTED.
( MATTHEW 5:4 *NIV )

When you lose someone that you love, take comfort in
knowing that they are now with God. For it is written that
when we die: THE DUST RETURNS TO THE GROUND IT CAME FROM, AND THE SPIRIT RETURNS TO GOD
WHO GAVE IT. ( ECCLESIASTES 12:7 )

Therefore: BROTHERS, WE DO NOT WANT YOU
TO BE IGNORANT ABOUT THOSE WHO FALL ASLEEP, OR TO GRIEVE LIKE THE REST OF MEN, WHO HAVE NO HOPE. WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED AND ROSE AGAIN AND SO WE BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL BRING WITH JESUS THOSE WHO HAVE
FALLEN ASLEEP IN HIM. (1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-14)

So , take comfort in knowing you will see them again, for it isn't the end of them but only the beginning! The beginning of a much better life where: HE WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES. THERE WILL BE NO MORE DEATH OR MOURNING OR CRYING OR PAIN, FOR THE OLD ORDER OF THINGS HAS PASSED AWAY. ( REVELATION 21:4 )

Now I would like to share something with you that has helped many who have lost someone. It is called "Safely Home." I pray it will minister to those of you who have lost someone close.

SAFELY HOME

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! But Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth--
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the pleasure of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
