Beyond the End

There comes a time in one's life, 
when death will take it's toll.

Our flesh will take one last breath,
and that leaves God with our soul.

It's like a brilliant shining star.
That makes us who we really are.

Imagine for a moment, standing face to face,
with our Lord and Savior, in his glory and his grace.

As you look around, suddenly you see, your Mother,
Father and a Son, who had also been set free.

You see my friend, it's not the end.
Through the Father and the Son,
restoration and salvation, have truly just begun.

It's after death from the flesh, that we start to live,
and receive from the Lord, all he has to give.

Lovely, Wayne! I always think about a friend who lost her little girl of 5 years, a little girl who shined the light of Jesus. I look forward to one day seeing the family all together. I will smile ear to ear!

TU Kim, this came straight from my heart. Lost my son in a car accident in 2012. Two days after his 20th Birthday. Miss him immensely.
