I've had the privilege of spending time with several people as they walk through the last leg of their journey here. I understand to some it may seem scary or even morbid. But, there is something so amazing, so beautiful about sharing with people as they look forward to their final destination. As people are transitioning, there are times I know they aren't with me, they are with their loved ones who have passed.
If ever there was a single event in life that would affirm to me there is a God, it would be sharing experiences with those that are about to see Him face to face. There is something special that happens that I can't understand, but that makes me know that God is there. When caring for my grandma, I watched as she talked to my grandpa and let him know she wasn't quite ready. He assured her he was waiting for her. A friend shared about her friend who flatlined and then revived, mad as anything because she was taken away from her husband she hadn't seen in 30 years!
So, this morning, I am thinking of the beauty of heaven and the comfort and peace that it promises. I am grateful for the time I shared with several people here as they got ready for their final destination. And, I am grateful for the peace they now have. Being missed by many is inevitable, but when we know where they have gone it gives a bit of comfort.
So, where was God today? He was welcoming another child of His home.
Blessings,
Jennifer
