   Me and my son had the pleasure of knowing Miss Johnnie at the nursing home. We would visit the residents and bring gifts each holiday. The last time we saw Miss Johnnie was at Easter and we gave her a little brown plush rabbit. She loved it when we had prayer time and always wanted hugs and told us she loved us. Such a sweet lady. I know that Mister Clifford (who sat next to her at the nursing home) is missing her dearly as they were great pals.

   I want to post a few bible verses in her honor since I know she loves the Lord and is with him right now in Paradise.

   Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.” John 11:25-26

   For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21

   For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

   For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
   Romans 8:38-39

   He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4

   “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

   Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8

   But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

   Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 1 Corinthians 15:51-55

   We will miss you Miss Johnnie! You are a sweet lady who touched our hearts and left an impression that will last a lifetime. And we know that for those who love the Lord Jesus there are no goodbyes…just see you later’s.
   Until we see you again…we love you and are thinking of you.
