Recently I was sitting and waiting for a funeral that Hubby was officiating. As I sat in the very back of the viewing room I was reminded of a few things.
Life is precious. Every. Life. Is. Precious. No matter how young, old, born, yet-to-born, color of skin, disability, picture perfect.....life is precious.
Life is short. It does not matter the age. Life is short. We are never guaranteed a tomorrow. There was a newborn there, probably only a week old, a grandmother who is into her eighties. Ages that were in-between.
Life is eternal. Not earthly life, but eternal life, you know, the life that follows this life.
Today marks 2 years since my dad died, yet it seems like forever. My heart is sad as I remember the day, but I will see him again. My mom died just a little over 10 1/2 years ago. It seems like it has been "longer than forever". I am so sad as I think of that day, but I know I will see her again. Why? Life is eternal.........
John 3:16-17
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved."
As for the funeral I attended, I will see her again......along with others who have gone before...."...for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." (2 Timothy 1:12)
