"GOD SAW YOU"

God saw you were getting tired.
And a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you,
And He whispered "Come with Me."
With teared-filled eyes we watched you!
This was your time and day,
Although we Love you Dearly,
We could not make you stay!
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hardworking hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us...
That He only takes the Best!
It's lonesome here without you,
We miss you more each day!
Life doesn't seem the same,
Since you went away!
When days are sad and lonely,
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper,
"Cheer up and carry on."
Each time we see your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
"Don't cry, I'm in God's hands,
We'll meet again someday!"

The Lord is my sheperd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea,though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff thy comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
PSALM 23

But they that wait upon the LORD
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
and they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31

"I'M Free"
Don't grieve for me for now I'm free.
I am following the path God has laid you see.
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day.
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
then fill it with remembered joys
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full I savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief.
Don't lengthen it now with undo grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.
God wanted me now, so he set me free!

JOHN 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

There is a saying That goes "As long as you remember someone they will live forever."

How do you say goodbye? If you knew you would never see a loved one or dear friend again? Just how would you say goodbye? What would you say? I came very close to losing my ex-wife late in 2004 and I often wondered just what would I say if I thought all the praying we did was in vain and she wouldn't make it and I did have to say my last farewell to her. But I had my confidence in Our God and knew it was not her time to go!After that I got a chance to tell SuAnne how much our short  friendship meant to me, and how proud of her I was that she survived for so long.We talked about her passing and she knew just as my Dad knew that it was about time to check out of here and  move on to a Better World. She told me she was just ready to get on home to the Holy Land and if I was around not to let the doctors string her along! Well SuAnne my Friend you know I Loved and Cared about you as a Friend and sometimes you were a pain to me but now realization has set in and I realized that last conversation we had about you moving on was just that "Our last conversation" I am glad that you made it to the table and you know I'll be at the table sometime too my friend. I just don't want you looking for me anytime soon because I have a lot to be Thankful for and even more to Live for! Everyone remember, if you have recently lost someone, your memories are fairly crisp and clear. But memories often fade with time, details get blurred and faces are harder to remember so it is better to keep that Dear Friend or Loved one alive with those memories that are so fresh in our minds and keep them in our daily thoughts, prayers and conversations and not dwell on the fact that they beat us to "Paradise" but remember the fact that they are up there watching over us preparing "US" a seat at the Lords Table. Waiting for us to be called upon to join Them too!God Bless us All and remember not all of us can be so lucky as to know when "OUR" time is near. So remember to let the ones you Love know how much you Love, care and appreciate them before tragedy can strike your Loving Family or Friend! Ron D. Marcus
