Life Reflections

     Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so,  I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.         John 14:1-3
