Have you ever felt lost in a world that just won't let go. Having never felt the pressures of dying or facing my own death I can't say that I begin to understand what goes through ones mind, but as I watch my mom and I see how she clings so much to this world that offers us nothing. No hope, no promise of eternal life, no life without pain and suffering....I wonder why it is we cling so strongly to it. Do we cling to the known and fear the unknown, do we doubt what Christ has promised us....Life Eternal and Love that is unconditional have we traded the truth for a lie? God has promised eternal life and life that is far more abundant than anything we could have ever imagined yet we face death with such anxiety. I guess I find myself strange in many ways. I feel such a glimmer of hope inside, such a sense of peace in knowing that one day I will come face to face with my creator....a God that loves me not for the things I've accomplished, not for the beauty he see's as a father but only because he calls me his child. I think of how he must feel if our heart aches for the ones that have left us to go home, how much more does his heart ache for them to return to him, for he held them and cradled them in his arms long before we even imagined a life with them. God grant us peace at this time, give my mother the joy of knowing you are there waiting for her and that you will not let her suffer alone, that you will never leave her side nor will you ever forsake her.
