Food for thought

In a few minutes I will be seated amongst many friends and family of a deceased aquaintance. We will be honoring and remembering him at his funeral service. I wonder about the flood of emotions that will be in that room. Grief. Anger. Relief. Sadness. Joy? When your life is over, it is not truly over but different. Those of us who are still trapped on this side of eternity have no clue what is going on beyond the eternal door. On this side we are limited in our ability to know or perceive what waits for us. On that side the limits are released and life truly begins.

You are right. Life truly begins after death. It is appointed for man to die once BUT to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! I pray that as you assemble yourselves to mourn the passing of your loved one that someone might come to see that time is winding down and make a conscious decision to get in right standing with God today while there is still time.
