Homegoing

Sweet children,

why do you mourn or weep for

my leaving this temporary earthly home?

There is no need to cry,

but rejoice and celebrate that I have finally

made it to my heavenly home.

You may grieve only for awhile,

then be jubilant and celebrate in remembrance

of my life that was filled with love, happiness and joy.

Be joyous that I am no longer tired or burdened with illness,

But have been set free and that I am at eternal peace.

Know that my journey was long, tired and wry,

Yet I was not afraid or alone, and when

I was to weak and tired to go on

A hand reached out and took mine, and a voice spoke to me:

“My child, there is no need to worry for I am here

I will give you strength when you are weak and

I have restored and healed your body of all pain and suffering

and filled it with my heavenly grace and salvation

I am here to walk these last steps of your journey with you

to my heavenly home so that you may sit at the throne with me

Your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ.”

So my sweet children, please don’t mourn, weep or be sad

because of my leaving, but rejoice and celebrate

my life and knowing that I am finally at eternal peace with my Lord
