RUBY'S
Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
Into the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime is not too long
To live as friends
With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show
And we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Though it's hard to let you go
Into the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime is not too long
To live as........
FRIENDS!

FRIENDS FOREVER

loved ones who have died with a "hopeless"
grieving like the non-Christian does. We have
the assurance that we will see them again.
I guess what I am saying is that although death is an enemy and we do not necessarily need to invite it in, neither do we need to spend our days fearing and dreading its approach.
"The conclusion of the whole matter is this: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."
Ecclesiastes 12: 13 & 14.
