HE IS WITH ME
Would I have told you
if it were not so?
Truly, I have prepared a place
for you, for your loved ones,
that where I am you may be also.
For My Father's house has many rooms,
room enough for all who
yearn for My presence.
Trust Me for this
though your heart be troubled now.
Lay aside all earthly woes.
My Kingdom is not of this world.
It is more glorious
than you can ever imagine!
Wipe away those tears.
I gave My life that you
may no longer sorrow, nor weep.
Your loved one is with Me.

Amadeo and Carolina always loved to talk with me at the insurance office. They were such loving, kind, gentle people and I always enjoyed our chats. Amadeo never left without blessing me! They are both missed and loved!
