I have not posted in the last week. I only have a few windows in which my time and energy comes together and it seems like every time I have been getting my focus someone has needed my time and attention. I have had to keep reminding myself that writing a blog is recreation, not required.
One of the distractions has been a number of deaths in the family. I am currently in a motel room waiting for everyone else to wake up and get moving as we proceed to a service for my mother in law. I lost an aunt about the same time and an uncle a few days ago. At church there have also been people who have died.
Most have been believers so it is a mixed bag of emotions. The separation and loss are real but the hope that the resurrection gives mellows the heart. My mother in law had been sinking into dementia. In her lucid moments she kept wondering how long the Lord was going to wait to take her. We all believe she is rejoicing today.
I hope you share that assurance.
Death at tax time is symbolic that of the two we only have to worry about taxes.

Death doesn't bother me, since I know where I'm going. It's the process that concerns me!
ReplyDeleteI would say that sums it up pretty well.
