One of my father's favorite prayer/affirmations was,
"Jesus, I trust in you!" We, likewise, trust in the Lord..., not on our own understanding (Prov. 3:5), and look forward to the day when we will be united with Dad in heaven.

Meanwhile he is enjoying a blessed reunion with those who went before him.
