Poem
A QUIET JOURNEY TO HEAVEN Some make a shouting journey to their home in heaven above, Some go so very quietly to His open arms of love. And Ray Britch was just like that, just quiet and serene, No fanfare filled with shouting from him could e’er be seen. But God is most impressed with the standards of a man, And how he lived for Jesus and followed in His plan. And Ray was so much like that, not loud and full of shouts, But those who knew him closely knew what all he was about. He loved his wife so dearly for fifty wondrous years And gave his tithes and offerings to the church he loved so dear. He loved that church and pastor and every member there As he sat there so quietly in that padded special chair. In just a ten-day period we saw two men pass on— One shouting on his journey, one whispering all along. But as they entered heaven and met there once again, They both heard the same welcome as there they entered in. You see, it’s not the shouting, it’s not the quiet tones That get rewards in heaven when they go to His throne. It is the faith they showed us in their unique own ways, And for each one who gets there to hear the SAVIOR praise. The works they did for Jesus are all that matter, friends, That show we’ll see the shouters, and the quiet ones in the end. Yes, one’s shouts were quite vocal, but the others’ kept inside, And now at heaven’s borders, they both wth Christ abide. And both will shout in heaven if YOU trust in Christ today, Repenting and now trusting in His salvation way. --Dedicated in memory of Ray Britch
