There's always a first chapter, for life has
a beginning. Some are highborn and others
are lowborn. But have you been
heavenbom? Better not to have been born,
than not to be born again.
Some chapters are glad and some are
sad. But nothing .enters our lives by luck,
only·the the Lord~ He desires our good, and
He makes au things work for our good.
There's always a last chapter. But.death
doesn't end all. We'll live somewhere forever.
I'll dwell in the house of the Lotd. Will you?
