My final hope for Jimmy Carter is a gentle passing..

He is a man of faith.. real faith in the better angels in all of us.. not a user of faith for political power.. but a true believer in the goodness of people. With that I send prayers that your crossing is soft and your spirit lands gently in that place of never ending peace.

Good night Jimmy, you did well

surely deserves to be there. Wish all Christians could behave as unselfishly kind as he has.

It is simpler for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than it is for a Rich man to enter the gates of Heaven.

President Carter has done more for the betterment of humanity while wanting NOTHING for himself.

"His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." (King James version)

I don't know what, if anything, awaits us, but if there is something I hope Jimmy Carter enters into joy.

He believed that being a Christian meant putting others ahead of self, and devoting his time and energy, and his resources, to making life better for others.

What a great man of peace!

He will sleep
On his last day he will awake
and summon his family and friends and say goodbye.

Just says Carter on it.. it means the world to me because my Mother passed away last year and she had Hospice in with her for her final 2 weeks.. they kept the pain away.. and Mom floated away basically on a soft fall breeze. I am forever grateful for what they do

She had Parkinsons and then a major stroke.

Then little strokes .

She was on hospice care in her nursing home.

She was on hospice for about a year.

She passed in her sleep.

This button I think has his picture on it.

I haven't seen it for awhile.
