Life is good.

I just heard about someone I only slightly knew who died recently. I didn't know this person well but for some reason it seemed to affect me on my way to work this morning. I began to think about death and how not nice it really is. Just a few weeks ago my wife's baby cousin died. 10 years ago her other cousin commited suicide.

This morning I thought about death and how we will all leave our loved ones at some point. It lead me to this overall thought.

Life is Good. Be best friends with Jesus, the link between life and death. He holds all your loved ones in your hand. Anyone who ever was or ever will be, Jesus holds them in his hands. They exist becasue he wilsl it. Even those who reject God in the icy fires of hell or still in existint becasue of God. So rememember to best friends of the one who holds the keys to life and death.

I may never meet any of you on these forums and you can tell by my low number I haven't posted much but I hope to meet all of you in heaven. So enjoy life. It's the only one you have. I must go back to work now.

Life is God.

I understand, I have been touched by death, parents passing to hearing my wife tell of the passing of her older sister (years ago, before we met). I felt the effect on 9/11 watching the towers fall wondering if my distant family members were on Manhatten island that day.
Yes death can come like a thief in the night a steal you away. But nothing can take me from the love of Jesus, save me. He is my rock, my reason to carry on, on good days and bad. I wish to die one day in peace, when I am ready to meet God and enter heaven. When is that, I do not know. I must trust that God is good and that the good shepherd will lead me to that point when I can he his forevermore.
Peace be with you
