Nellie Souther Presley

Life is short and we never have enough time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us. O, be swift to love, make haste to be kind.
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And had cometh from afar;
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come,
From God who is our home.
Outside the open window, the morning air was all awash with angels waiting to carry the gentle soul of Nellie home. She is at peace with her Father.

Dear Doris and Randy~~~ I pray as you go through the loss of Nellie that God will wrap you in His Grace, Mercy and Strength! It is only the loss of her earthly home~~her real home has just began!

God’s Love

When we lose someone we love
The loss seems too great to bear
God sends us friends to comfort us
To show that He deeply cares

But in the dark hours of the night
When there’s nobody else around
When we feel the saddest and loneliest
It’s there God’s love can be found

It’s like a soothing, healing balm
To soothe our broken hearts
The healing oil poured over us
That flows into every part

We can rest secure in God’s love
And know He’s by our side
He holds us when we feel as though
A part of us has died

We can know that God will listen
When we just want to talk
And when we feel we need to cry
We can share it with the Lord

For He is always waiting there
Ready with arms open wide
As we pour out the hurt within
He pours His love inside

Our Father above loves us so much
And will never leave us alone
He will not forsake us in our need
To face this on our own

He comforts us and strengthens us
And rubs us with His balm
And as the dawn breaks through the night
We’ll awake in His loving arms.

MUCH LOVE MY FRIEND!!!!

May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead. Our thoughts & prayers go out to your entire family.
