A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing
to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I 
am afraid to die.  Tell me what lies on the other side."

Very quietly, the doctor  said, "I don't know."

"You don't know? You, a Christian man, do  not know 
what is on the other side?"

The doctor was holding the  handle of the door; 
on the other side of which came a sound of scratching
and  whining, and as he opened the door a dog sprang 
into the room and leaped on him  with an eager show 
of gladness.

Turning to the patient, the  doctor said, "Did you 
notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. 
He  didn't know what was inside.  He knew nothing 
except that his master was  here, and when the door 
opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little 
of what is on the other side of death, but I do 
know one thing...I know my Master is  there and 
that is enough."


"Many things about tomorrow I  don't seem to 
understand; But I know Who holds tomorrow And I 
know Who holds my  hand."
