KNOW THAT


Know that the sweet aroma that once

fragranced your home is now

Incense at God’s throne

Know that the heart that once captivated you

now hollows you to contain more of Him

Know that death does not define your loved one’s end

when the life they lived is planted in others

Know that the love that your departed one gave from God transcends time and space

when you continue to share its gift

Know that although your loved one has left this

dimension, she tugs at the heart of God for you and

yours in the heavenly realm

Know that the request your departed one made to Him

for you in their passing, God has already

fulfilled from Eternity past

A generation not yet born will speak of you.
