Three things (by Gary)

3 Things Doris would want us to know today . . .

1. I think Doris would want us to know that she's just fine now. There's no more pain, no more crying, just as Revelation 21:4 says, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain . . . ." I tend to think that this means that Doris can¹t even recall the pain here and if she does, it is nothing compared to the joy she has now, kind of like a mother after giving birth to a child feels.

2. I think Doris would want us to know that everything she learned about God is true (and more.) That there is a Heaven, that God is real, that death isn't the end, that Jesus died but He truly rose from the dead and is sitting at the right hand of God as the Bible tells us. I'm sure she's enjoying the truths of that song "Because He Lives" even today.

3. But thirdly, and finally, I believe Doris would want us all to keep going, to keep the faith every day, to live as God calls us to, knowing in faith what awaits us.
