There has been several deaths lately. Some were passing acquaintances, and one was related to people I've known for years. The one that hit Michael and I the hardest was someone we have just come to know within the last two years.
She was a sweet lady named Sue. We came to know her because her computer broke and Michael fixed it for her. Then when I first began organizing food for different events at the church she was one of the first to volunteer. She was quiet and in 'the background' most of the time. We probably would have never came to know her unless her computer broke.
She died suddenly. I really do not even know all the details other than what was announced in church. It really took everyone by surprise. There was nothing to prepare her husband or family. There were no goodbyes.
I am so glad that there is HOPE. If life consisted of being born and just dying, it would be a sad world. Death would be harder to deal with and move forward from.
I am thankful that through Christ there is eternal life waiting for those who put their trust in Him.
Proverbs 14:32b ...but the righteous hath hope in his death.
II Corinthians 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
