"Jehovah God, you are my portion and my cup of blessing, you hold my future," Psalm 16:5.

Yes. Apart from you, O God, we don't have anything worthwhile. You've promised a beautiful inheritance. Your good counsel leads us, even in the darkest night our hearts point the path to you. We have chosen to set you in front, and because you have become our strong hand nothing shakes us. O, Yes! Throughout our beings our hearts sing your joys, our very bodies rest assured. You won't abandon us, ever. Not even when we've turned to dusty ashes, you won't leave us there. No. You didn't leave Jesus in the grave! And we know your path to life, we know the joy of your presence, we know your strong arm's eternal delights!

When we part from a brother or sister today, we anticipate tomorrow's sure gathering at the banquet with Jesus. Meanwhile, together, we give thanks to God with joy for his path home.
