Ok, here I am at my pc sitting at my desk. I was in a store yesterday and the manager there was looking for a piece of paper to write her cell number down for me. She looked under the counter and said "Do you mind if I write it on this large paper?" I said "no of course not" the paper was standard in size, but folded in 4's.....I am certain that she had no idea what was on the back, nor was this saved or put aside just in case I come back in the store again. I just opened it to get her number so I can store it in my cell, and as I opened it, at the bottom is a beautiful color picture of Jesus standing on top of a cloud, looking up sky-ward. Such a warm, soothing picture.... and above it is a saying which I'd like to share with you all, it says:

SAFELY HOME


I am home in Heaven, dear ones
Oh, so happyand 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 time to 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 rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
