My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” John 14 1:3 God’s Promise: The grass withers, the flowers fade. But the word of God shall stand forever. Isiah 40:8
