Seneca

Dedicated to the memory of those who were called to be with the Father.

Jesus said to Mary Magdelene, "Love is stronger than death."

The Measure of a Man
Not, "How did he die?" but "How did he live?"
Not, "What did he gain?" but "What did he give?"
These are the units to measure the worth;
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.

Not, "What was his station?" but "Had he a heart?"
And "How did he play his God-given part?"
Was he ever ready with a word of good cheer,
To bring a smile, to banish a tear?

Not, "What was his church?" nor "What was his creed?"
But "Had he befriended those really in need?"
Not, "What did the sketch in the newspaper say?"
But "How many were sorry, when he passed away?"

Anon.

Do not grudge your brother or sister their rest. They have at last become free, safe and immortal, and ranges joyous through the boundless heavens; they have left this low-lying region and soared upwards to that place which receives in its happy bosom the souls set free from the chains of matter.

Your brother or sister have not lost the light of day, but have obtained a more enduring light. They have not left us, but have gone on before. --Seneca

If you can't spend some time with God today, without being bored, how will you stand being with Him for eternity?

If you were saved, the least of your concerns should be death because then the soul is absent from the body and present with the Lord.
