Pre-Printed Holy Card No. 1: The 23rd Psalm
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul;
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Yea‚ though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death‚
I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Then stopped and picked the best‚

With Jesus he’s now at rest.

to walk the road alone‚

with happy days we’ve known.

smile‚ tho blindly I may grope‚
The memory of your helping hand
will buoy me on with hope.
Should you go first and I remain‚
one thing I’ll have you do:
Walk slowly down that long long
path‚ for soon I’ll follow you.
I want to know each step you take‚
So I may take the same.
For someday down that lonely road‚
you’ll hear me call your name.

No one can fill your vacant place.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.

Pre-Printed Holy Card No. 42: FOOTPRINTS
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene‚ he noticed two sets
of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him‚ and the other to the LORD.
When the last scenes of his life flashed before him‚ he looked back at the
footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened
at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and
he questioned the LORD about it. “LORD‚ you said that once I decided to follow you‚
you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life‚ there is only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.”
The LORD replied‚ “My precious‚ precious child‚ I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering‚ when you saw only one set
of footprints‚ it was then that I carried you.”

Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;
And never never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky!

Our hearts were crushed and sore;
We did our best to the end‚

You left behind some aching hearts‚
That loved you most sincere;
We never shall and never will
Forget you Father dear.

Pre-Printed Holy Card No. 53: LIFE
Life is but a stopping place‚
A pause in what’s to be‚
A resting place along the road
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys‚
Different paths along the way‚
We all were meant to learn Some things‚
But never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place
Far greater than we know‚
For some‚ the journey quicker‚
For some the journey’s slow.
And when the journey finally ends‚
We’ll claim a great reward‚
And find an everlasting peace‚
Together with the Lord.

Each prayer we say‚
Is offered up for you.

When we were all together‚
Our family chain is broken now‚
But memories live for ever.

Pre-Printed Holy Card No. 64: I'M FREE
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God has chosen for me.
I took His hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I've now found peace at the end of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Oh yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
Look for the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief;
Don't lengthen your pain with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and peace to thee,
God wanted me now-He set me free.

And only God knows why.

No one will ever know.
But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more,
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today,
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.

I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will
be as it was before only better, infinitely happier and forever we
will all be one together with Christ.

At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way!

In all things great and small
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all!
