He Has Set Me Free
So much to tell you since I went away. I just cant explain. You wont believe this place. The joy I felt when Jesus took my hand. Come with me now, Diane, your journey has come to an end. What about my family? I asked with concern. The pain they must feel, I dont want them to hurt.
Jesus looked at me with a smile on his face. I am with them always. They will be safe. We are going home now, Diane. Let me show you the way. Some family is there. Just at Heavens gate.
The angels were singing. The trumpets so loud. Such beautiful music. The chant of the crowd. As we entered the gates, I looked all around. Someone yelled my name. I recognized the sound.
To my surprise by Gods wonderful grace, my dad, was there. The smile on his face. The reunion we had, I missed him so much. I held him so long. There was so much to discuss. There is time for that, Diane, Jesus said to me. Time to meet my father, and it is only through me. A crown you have earned and everlasting life. A reward to you for such a wonderful life.
I just cant believe how great I feel. There is no more pain. I can run, jump, and do anything I please. I am no longer ill. To my family, my friends, and those who loved me, do not be sad, for happy I will be. This is not good-bye, for it is not the end. I will see you again when your journey will end.
So no more crying for I have made it home with Jesus in heaven right where I belong. Together again we will soon be when you come home to Heaven to your Father and me.
Ill be waiting for you at Heavens gate. I will be up front, the one chanting your name. Until that time, be happy for me. Live your life for God the way I taught you to be. When you look to the heavens, know thats where Ill be. Glory to God, to his house, he has guided me. Glory to God. He has set me free.

Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Rest In Peace, my dear friend \o/

The Lord now has another great person to add to His collection of angels. Diane was an inspiration to us all. She was fun to be around and we always enjoyed the time our families spent together. We will miss Diane and her wonderful attitude about life, but her memory will be with us always. May The Lord take you all under His wing and guide you through this difficult time.
