23rd Psalm

23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he

leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of

righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest

a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth

over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the

house of the LORD for ever.

A message to my children Family and Friends, I MADE IT HOME,

I just wanted to let you know that I made it home. The journey wasn’t an easy one, but it didn't

take too long. Everything is so pretty here, so white, so fresh, so new. I wish that you could

close your eyes so you could see it too. Please try not to be sad for me. Try to understand. God is

taking care of me… I’m in the shelter of His hands. Here there is no sadness, and no sorrow, and no

pain. Here there is no crying, and I’ll never hurt again. Here it is so peaceful, when all the

angels sing. I really have to go now… I’ve just got to try my wings. Weep no more for I am in the

arms of MY father. I’ll see you all again. I love you.
