This has been a week of three "good-byes" for families in our area. Yes, we have had three funerals this week. What a sad time for these families, but for those that know the Lord, we mourn as those WITH hope that they know they will see these loved ones again! For two of these funerals, we know that "absent from the body, they were immediately present with the Lord." What a comfort that is to those grieving their loss.
Memories of those gone on ahead to heaven are a gift from God. They bring comfort, joy and laughter, and enable famiies to remember the wonderful times they had together. "Weeping may last for a season (a time to mourn), but joy comes in the morning"...what a precious promise that is!
