The divine presence safeguards our thoughts and spirit, and even amidst grief and sorrow, His love and strength have the power to restore our wholeness.

If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me, Place them in my Mother’s arms and tell her they’re from me. Tell her I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, but there’s an ache within my heart that will never go away.

AMessage to the Family
Though the load gets heavy, you’re never left alone to bear it all; Just ask for strength and Keep on tolling, tho’the teardrops fall, You have the joy of this assurance.
The heavenly Father will always answer prayer And He know, yes, He knows, just how much you can bear.
