Those Who Have Gone Home

Psalm 116:15

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

Isaiah 57:1-2 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness. It is with sorrow in our hearts that we remember those loved ones who are no longer among us because of their death. Yet, gladness and joy abound because we know that they are in the presence of our Savior. These past 12 months we have seen 15 saints graduated to a place of eternal peace and being in the presence of our Lord and Savior. We celebrate the lives and testimonies that these fellow servants of God have left for us.
