Recently, some people that I know have died. This is very sad and I am so sorry for their families. Grief and loss are horrible emotions to survive. Sometimes it destroys families forever, when arguments and hurt feelings are pushed in the wrong direction. A very confusing time, to say the least.
For these people, I don't believe that is the case. Kay, Annette & Rick loved the Lord. They lived their lives for Him and with Him. You didn't have to ask or listen to them speak to know, you could see it everyday, by the way they lived and loved. A greater testament cannot be.
Their families will never be the same. Family reunions and holidays are changed forever.
But, take comfort. They are in HEAVEN rejoicing and singing praises! I can just see Annette and my Grandpa reliving old times together. They grew up together their entire lives, same school, same area, same church. I'm sure they are happy to see each other and have lots to talk about.
God IS good ALL the time!
