• No more restrictions in a worn-out mortal body.

• She now lays her works at the Master’s feet and enjoys His welcome home. I direct your thought to the glory she is experiencing right now in heaven.

• This poem by Myrtle Erickson puts it well. It’s entitled “The Homeland.”

“THINK –

Of stepping on the shore and finding it Heaven;

Of taking hold of a hand and finding it God’s hand;

Of breathing a new air and finding it celestial air;

Of feeling invigorated and finding it immortality;

Of passing from storm and tempest to an unbroken calm;

Of looking up—and finding it HOME.”
