We started the
New Year
with the desire to be
Different
to be changed
but not with
resolutions
but with
Revelations
that make
every moment
a new moment.
A
new moment
is a hello to a
what is now
and a goodbye to
what was.
Something has happened in my soul
where I am
Different
because of all the loss
that I have been facing
with loved ones
whose loved ones
have passed onto eternity~
the young
the old
&
the not so old~
it happens to everyone.
No one is exempt~
not me
not you~
no one.
Too many names to write
of those who recently
have been greeted
by
Jesus
as they entered into their eternal home.
Great sadness remains in the hearts,
yet great joy
for the one who is
in
His Presence.
I over heard the words
at a recent funeral~
Life isn't Forever.
A true statement
as this life here and now
is not forever.
A false statement
as
Life is Forever
in Him & with Him.
Life not as we know it
but
Life as we will know it.
To be in the Presence of
Jesus
when
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more,
neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore,
for the former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4 Life beyond our wildest dreams.
A place for you
&
A place for me~
In my Father’s house are many rooms.
If it were not so, would
I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? John 14:2
A place
better than a beach
better than a ski slope
better than a sunny day
better than your best day you have ever experienced.
The unknown to us
yet known to the
One
who told us.
One day,
yes one day,
you and I
will be called home
to our real home,
yet we remain now
so
we grieve those who have gone ahead of us
because of the great loss
yet
we are filled with an inner joy
because we know
Life is Forever
In Him
who is forever.
Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day
. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us
an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,
since what is seen is temporary,
but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
"See You Later"
to all of those
in my life & in your life
who have gone ahead of us~
you will be missed
yet
loved forever
as we can
Only Imagine~
