[Elspeth]

If we live, we live to the Lord: and if we die, we die to the
Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

[aklassie]

Heaven to me would be all that is beautiful with the glory of God shining all around. Seeing my grandparents again. Feeling such joy that no words could describe. Being able to look of the face of the one who saved me any time I wanted to. Just to sing his praise as the ages just roll on by. Just to feel the pure love of God!!!

[Elspeth]

Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify
ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit,
perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
-- 2 Corinthians 7:1

[Elspeth]

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the
days of trouble come and the years approach when you will
say, "I find no pleasure in them" -- before the sun and the
light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds
return after the rain; when the keepers of the house
tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease
because they are few, and those looking through the windows
grow dim; when the doors to the street are closed and the
sound of grinding fades; when men rise up at the sound of
birds, but all their songs grow faint; when men are afraid
of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond
tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags himself along and
desire no longer is stirred. Then man goes to his eternal
home and mourners go about the streets. Remember him --
before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is
broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or
the wheel broken at the well, and the dust returns to the
ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave
it.

Ecclesiastes 12:1-7

[Elspeth]

I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right
hand, I will not be shaken.
-- Psalm 16:8

[Elspeth]

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and
familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their
faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he
took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we
considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and
afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was
crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us
peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all,
like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his
own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us
all.

Isaiah 53:3-6

[Elspeth]

By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me
-- a prayer to the God of my life.
-- Psalm 42:8

[Elspeth]

Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not
associate with one easily angered, or you may learn his ways
and get yourself ensnared.

Proverbs 22:24-25

[Elspeth]

When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O Lord, supported
me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy
to my soul.
-- Psalm 94:18-19

[Elspeth]

I love the Lord. He heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I
live.
-- Psalm 116:1-2

[Elspeth]

Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make
them stumble.
-- Psalm 119:165

[Elspeth]

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these
members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are
many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
-- Romans 12:4-5

[Elspeth]

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast,
because he trusts in you.
-- Isaiah 26:3

[Elspeth]

See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and his arm rules
for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense
accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd: He
gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his
heart; he gently leads those that have young.

Isaiah 40:10-11

[Elspeth]

Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord
our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care.
-- Psalm 95:6-7
