A WORD OF CONSOLATION ~
If a tiny Baby could think, it would be afraid of birth. To leave the only world It has ever known would seem a kind of death. But immediately after birth the child would find Itself in loving arms, showered with affection & cared for at every moment. Surely the Baby would say, "I was foolish to doubt God's plan for me. This is a Beautiful Life."
For the Christian, passing through death is really a birth into a new & better World. Those who are left behind should not grieve as if there was no hope. Life is changed, not taken away. Our Dear Ones live on, in a world beautiful beyond anything we can imagine. They await a day when they will welcome us with joy.
"Do not grieve too much, they would say to us. We are living &
still with you."
For those who have been faithful, O Lord, Life is not ended, but merely changed. And when this home is no more, an eternal dwelling place awaits them in Heaven.
