Yet we do not know what tomorrow will bring what is our life we are like a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Man is like a breath his days are like a passing shadow. For our flesh is like grass and all his glory like the flower of grass the grass Withers and the flower falls. So teach us Lord to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. We must all pass away and leave this world but we have a heaven to gain we are like water spilled on the ground which cannot be gathered up again but God will not take away life and he divisors means so that the baddest ones well not remained an outcast. He has made a way for us to make having our home and to this day I believe with all my heart that uncle Toby Taylor is on the other side waiting for all of his loved ones to make it in and that the circle will not be broken.Uncle Toby has lived a full glorious wonderful life became more beautiful and glorious when he met you Aunt Mildred
Huff Taylor.All the great and wonderful time that you my mother Eva TurnerAnd Roger had fishing traveling and y´all love camping.We are all growing closer to that heavenly ShoreWere more of our loved ones are waiting for us there but above all the main one that has given us this chance and opportunity to make having a home our. Beloved Savior are blessed redeemer our Lord Jesus Christ. He is resting no more pain he is in his arms waiting on us to make it in. And I believe he is up there rejoicing and dancing on the streets of gold like my mother said when she passed away. I´m going to "what she told me on her deathbed I see Jesus dancing on the most beautiful streets so gold looking at me waiting for me to cross over I believe that today love you aunt Mildred so much I pray for peace to wrap around you that only the Lord can give you in this time of your grief and sorrow for I know your heart is breaking heavily. But just a little while longer keep on holding onFor the Lord will see us through holding our hand every step of the way.
