God’s hands are ready~by Virginia Quick These times are tough to watch him go but God’s hands are out to take him home. So let him go as he will not be forgotten. The Memories of him will be held close. A tear will fall from the ones left behind but we will meet him again when it’s our time. Let him go in peace and let him know we care. Let us not think of death as a good bye but merely the beginning of a new life. Yes, this will hurt for awhile but when our time is near we will understand that God was not taking him from us but giving him his new journey in life. A new life we will soon share.
