Louvenia "Sister" Alexander

I am confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from this body, and to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8)

“I went home on the morning train, so goodbye world.” It is with a shout of joy and a grateful heart that I say “see you in the morning” to all those I leave behind! For I knew that if this old earthly body gave out, that I had a building from God, eternal in the heavens, not made by man’s hands. I have overcome the world because my faith did not stand in the wisdom of man, but in the power of God. To my beautiful daughter and loved ones that I am leaving behind, as you celebrate my return to my Heavenly Father, I want each of you to always remember that some people die without having really lived. Others continue to live, although they have died. Don’t worry about me, I lived a full life and now I am resting in the arms of my Heavenly Father.
