August 5th

Here are a few readings from some of the many cards we received.

I can't possibly share each one. Each card meant so very much as did the personal written words.

********

The Lord knows the pain you feel. the grief you carry, the tears you cry,

the memories you'll cherish, the comfort you'll need, the strength you'll require.

******

Memory is a special place in our hearts where we can find comfort in the treasured thoughts of those we hold dear.

 ******

The gift of love lasts forever.

It cannot wear out or grow old.

It cannot be taken from us.

The gift of love lasts far longer than sorrow,

which is a shadow that will, in time pass like a cloud.

The gift of love

is the true inheritance of our hearts.

We carry it with us every day,

And we pass it on,

just as it was given to us.

 ******

In sorrow we have many questions...

In faith, we have the answer.

 ******

 If God didn't want us to imagine what Heaven will be like,

He wouldn't have told us as much about it as He has.

******

God holds our lives in His hands like precious,

polishing each with challenges, choices & changes.

And in time, we become shining reflections 

of His purpose, of His promise, of His love.
