When one we
have loved for all our life is called home to
be with God it is hard to understand. We most
times think of it as only the end of life as we
know it, when it really is just like taking a
trip. We stand on the deck of a ship and we
watch our loved ones standing on the dock. Many
times there are tears and though it is suppose
to be a happy time as we know that for maybe
many years plans had been made and looked
forward to going to this new place. We know
that there will be many that we have not seen
standing on the dock when we get there and it
will be such a happy time.
As our
ship starts to leave and we know that the trip
will pass fast, as the ship goes over the
horizon and fades away. We look toward the
other shore and we see the dock that stands
with many that we know, and we see our loved
ones that have crossed over before us all
standing on the dock, and as we disappear from
sight then we can be seen coming . It is then
that we will know for sure that by having
Jesus be the Master of our life and following
in His foot steps, then we will understand
just how much He loved us.
I know how hard it is to lose a
loved one. I lost my dad over half a life
ago, and my mom went on to be with Jesus
long yrs ago also. When my mom passed over,
my sister also was here to visit her, and
became very sick and told us that she was
visited the same night as mom passed, but she
felt that they just choose mom first, but
now I have both mom and her and one other
sister on that far shore with my dad and my
brother also. I remember each one standing
on that other shore and I pray when it is my
turn to board that final
ship that I can be ready to cross over to be
with them again.
Father God I
ask that you would help each of us that lose
some one dear to understand that instead of
being as the world thinks it to be an end,
that you will help us to understand it as
just the start of a closer walk with you, and we
will rejoice in this knowledge. Father bless
each person who stops by and reads these
words that You have given me to share. Keep
them safely in Your care and love. In Jesus
name. Amen. In His love and service, your
friend.

Scripture: John 14: 2 ~ 4 Let
not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God,
believe also in me. In my Father's house are
many mansions: if it were not so, I would
have told you. I go to prepare a place for
you. And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, there ye may be
also.
Thank you Jimmy for allowing me to add
these beautiful words to this Website!
