Edith Yorker

“Peace, I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27

We belong to God; not only for a few fleeting years that we call life, but for eternity. God is on both sides of the river. He walks with us doing our earthly life and is there to receive us for our eternal life. We are in God’s presence in life, death, and everlasting, yet we must cross the river to receive our crown of life. To my beautiful family members and friends, on April  21, 2026. I turned my back and left it all when I saw God waiting for me on the other side. I know my life appears to be brief, but I’ve lived an exciting and full life. God afforded me many wonderful opportunities, so don’t question him about sending his angels sooner than we all planned.
