some things I'd like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from the Bridge. Here I dwell with God above. Here there's no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you. It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight, God and I are closest to you... in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years, because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; But together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too; That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain; Then you can say to God at night... "My day was not in vain." And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along I made somebody smile. God says: "If you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low; Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street with me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind." "And when it's time for you to go... from that body to be free. Remember you're not going... you're coming here to me." -Author Unknown |
When I get to heaven, Saint Peter's gonna say, How'd you earn your money? How'd you earn your way? How'd you get to heaven? How'd you get that leash? With a little bit of anger, This is what I'll say. Earned my way as a K-9 Handler Livin' a life of Guts and Danger, Blood, Sweat, Guts, and Danger. That's the way, of an K-9 Handler. -Author Unknown
The Final Inspection The officer stood and faced his God. Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now, Officer, how shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To church have you been true?" The officer squared his shoulder and said, " No, Lord, I guess I ain’t, because all of us who carry badges can’t always be a saint. I’ve had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough, and sometimes I’ve been violent because the streets are tough. But I never took a penny that wasn’t mine to keep. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I’ve wept an unmanly tear. I know I don’t deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear. If you’ve a place for me here, Lord, it needn’t be so grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don’t… I’ll understand! There was silence all around the throne where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his GOD "Step forward now, Officer. You’ve borne your burdens well Come walk a beat on heaven’s streets, You’ve done your time in hell" Amen (Author Unknown)
