Death

The death of someone we know effects us in one way or another. Whether it was a loved one or just a friend, it hurts. I’ve only been to three funerals in my life and they always say its a celebration of their life, but its so hard to focus on the good when you know never are going to see them until we die. But we really should be happy for them and all they did in the one life they got. We should be happy for the time we got to spend with that person and be grateful that God put them in our lives. They are free of pain and suffering now, they truly are in a WAY better place than here on this earth. Not only are they free of pain, but they get to spend time with the Creator of the heavens and earth. What is better than that? They get to ask God all their questions and find all the answers. So, we should never be sad that someone is gone, but rejoice that they are happier than they will ever be on this earth. Its ok to miss them but don’t let it ruin your day. There will be new friends and new people, of course they will never replace that person, but they are there to comfort you. God had a reason why He took them away and it is always the right reason. It May not be what we want, but its what God wants and that is what is important.
