Death Is The Soul’s Migration-
Life on earth is a transient affair, just a few years in which to prepare for a life
that is free from pain and tears; where time is not counted by hours or years.
For death is only the method God chose for the souls of those who by their ap-
prenticeship on earth proved worthy to dwell in the land of our Lord. So death
is not sad, it’s time for elation, a joyous transition. The Soul’s Migration into a
place where the soul is safe and free to live with God through eternity
-anonymous
In Appreciation The family of the late Mr. Cedric J. Henderson wishes to express this thought:
Perhaps you sang a lovely song, or sat quietly in a chair; Perhaps you sent
beautiful flowers, if so we saw them; Perhaps you were not there at all, just
thought of us on that day; Perhaps you rendered a service unseen, near at
hand or from afar; Whatever you did to console our hearts, We thank you so
much-Whatever the part. May God Bless You
We Thank You All, The Henderson Family

A Son's Touch
Dear Daddy, I miss you so much already, you were my hero. I'm going to miss hanging out with you. There's so much we were going to do together. You were going to teach me how to drive when I turned 16 and give me
your car. Your were the coolest dad and everyone said I looked exactly like you. I will always remember you and keep you in my heart. I know you'll
be watching over me and waiting for me with open arms one day.
Just A Prayer Away
If your heart is heavy and filled with despair, And you think there is no one around to care, If your faith is weak and you’ve lost all hope, Your burden so heavy you just can’t cope-
“There can be a better, far brighter day, for God is just a prayer away.”
Reach out to him through earnest prayer, He’ll hear-for He is everywhere!
He’ll strengthen your faith and bring you Hope, and lift your burden when you can’t
Cope, and through it all-He’ll make it known That you are never, ever alone!

"It's All About Timing"
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven;
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up
that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to sleep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to
speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of pace
