If you could see me now you wouldn t shed a tear. Though you may not understand why I m no longer there. Remember my spirit that is the real me because I m still very Much alive, I ve just been set free, Oh, if you could only see! I have beheld our Father s face and I ve touched my Savior s Hand. All of Heaven s angels rejoiced as I entered the promised Land. Beyond the gates of pearl I ve walked on the golden streets. I ve touched the walls of jasper and dipped my foot in the Crystal sea. The beauty is beyond words and nothing could Compare, I ve even seen your mansion and someday I ll meet you there. Let Jesus be your guide because His Word will show you the way! So please don t Cry because we will meet again someday. -Author: Patsy Stambaugh Deskins Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair.
