DOWN AND OUT, SAD OR BLUE
by PJ Bolding
Maybe you just lost your very best friend, soulmate, love of your life, and you just don't understand why God took them away, especially without your being able to say goodbye first. God has a plan for each of us and while we can't be sure when our time will come, we can be sure to cherish all the memories, especially the good ones, for they will be in our hearts forever. They are watching over us daily as we prepare ourselves for heaven. They are not blaming you for anything you did or didn't do,
they are just there loving, and watching over you.
Take every opportunity to inspire yourself and those around you everyday so that you'll have the peace and contentment knowing that your loved ones are where we are all headed one day, to be with our Master in his beautiful heaven...a place where there is no pain or suffering, everyone is happy and singing, and life is more beautiful than we can imagine. And try not to blame God for taking them away before we were ready to let them go. Be strong in the Lord and he will get you through the lonely days and nights...stay active and try to continue your life just as your loved one would have you do, until they are there in heaven with you..

God's Heavenly Garden
by Dorothea Barwick
Sometimes God picks the flower that is still in full bloom;
Sometimes the rosebud's chosen that we feel He's picked too soon.
Sometimes the flower is fading with petals floating down,
But God knows the perfect time to gather flowers from the ground
There is a heavenly garden in which God takes great pleasure
Because He's placed within it the loved ones that we treasure.
He walks among the blossoms giving them eternal rest,
And I know that it must please Him because He chose our very best.
Please enjoy the "Beyond the Grave" video below.
This is such a beautiful song that is the perfect song to listen to upon a dear one's death.
May you and yours be as blessed as I was when I listened to it after my father died.
Thank God we all will have a better life "beyond the grave".

Have you been in the wrong place at the wrong time, or just hung around the wrong crowd,
and gotten in some trouble of some kind? There is still a way for you to come out ahead of all this.
We all have sinned, some of us more than others, but God will and does forgive when we pray for forgiveness and show him that we are sincerely sorry for what we have done, and ask for his guidance in making us better from now on. We all can learn from our mistakes, and crimes of the past, and choose to make the right choices in our future daily activities.
Where there is sickness and terminal illness, there still is hope and faith that God will work with the mighty physicians to ease your pain and suffering. We may not know why we have been afflicted but we must deal with the hand that we have been dealt, and become stronger because of it...we need to tackle the fear of dying, and make the most of the time we have left to impact the lives around us. We need to try and stay positive to encourage those who love us to be strong and there for us. We need to make a difference in this world while we are still here to make a difference...
Personal note: I have been near death for more than 5 times, the last being just recently when I had an allergic reaction to contrast dye in a cat scan procedure. My lungs were shutting down, couldn't breathe thru my nose at all, only thru my mouth which was closing in fast...my pulse and blood pressure couldn't be found, and my leg was shaking as I am sure I was about to go into shock... My blood pressure finally read l59/129 which was dangerously high. I had to be transported by ambulance across the street to the hospital, and monitored for the next two days while I was taking benadryl every 3-4 hours to make sure that this didn't happen again...but I still kept my sense of humor, and tried to remain cool, calm, and collected thru all of this...as a matter of fact, I told them there was "a lot of shaking going on, but there wasn't any music", and that "I wasn't ready to knock on heaven's door"....I don't believe God was ready for me yet, because I need to look after my mother who is housebound. And possibly because there is more He wants me to do here on earth.
Don't think for one minute that God didn't use those doctors and the hospital to take good care of me.
