AS MANY HAVE.......THIS ONE HAS TOO TASTED OF SEEING DEATH....

EITHER A FAMILY MEMBER, OR A VERY CLOSE FRIEND.

SOME OF US HAD TO WATCH THE MIND OF ANOTHER DIE....

IT TRULY IS THE HARDEST TO WATCH,AS HELPLESSLY STAND BY..

YOUR LOVED ONE NOT KNOWING YOU, AS ONCE DID.....

AM SURE THAT THERE ARE OTHERS,SUCH AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS,

ALL THAT ANOTHER WAS......NOW SEEMS SO ALREADY DEAD.

SO MUCH MORE NEEDED TO BE SAID, OR BY YOU HEARD.....

'N THIS IS WHAT CAUSES THE HEART SUCH A PAINFUL HURT !

I PRAYED THAT WOULD HEAR WORDS THAT SO NEEDED TO HEAR,

'N GOD GRANTED THIS, AS ANOTHER'S DEATH WAS DRAWING NEAR.

ALSO WHISPERED IN ANOTHER'S EARS LATER OF A WOMAN....

SAYING.... THAT I THANKED GOD FOR OUR RESTORATION OF

FELLOWSHIP,ONCE FULL OF WOUNDS......I LOVE YOU

WAS THE LAST TO SPEAK TO HER, 'N MOMENTS LATER SHE DIED.

WAS IN SUCH PEACE, BECAUSE KNEW THAT SHE HEARD.....

THE FIRST WAS MY MOM, THE LAST MY MOTHER IN LAW...

YET IN THIS HEART...BOTH WERE AS MY MOTHER !

I URGE ALL TO DO TODAY WHAT MAY NOT HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO,

FOR TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED UNTO ME 'N YOU.

SPEAK THE WORDS, REGARLESS OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID....

'N WATCH WHAT COMFORT RECEIVE ...BY DOING THAT !

ALSO IT IS THE SAME WITH WALKING WITH THY JESUS....

NEVER CEASE TO WORSHIP,'N THANK HIM FOR HIS "LOVE."

RAISE THY HANDS TO THE HEAVENS ABOVE......

DO IT OFTEN FROM THY ARISING, UP TO DUSK....

O' THE SWEETNESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A SENT DOVE....

THAT WILL STRENGTHEN THEE IN THE RACE, THOU RUNS...

UNTIL FOR THE LORD ....THY TASK IS FINALLY COMPLETELY DONE !
