Death in My Family

    Hello Friends. I am going to take a day or two off again. Yesterday, my sister went home to be with Jesus. She has suffered for several years with Alzheimer's and it took away everything she had, and now her life.

The good news, as sad as it is for her family here on earth, is we can rejoice because even though it took her earthly life, it did not take her heavenly life.

Because of what Jesus did for her on the cross, there is no sting to her death. Her grave will have no victory because only her mortal body will be there. Now she is with Jesus.

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? For the sting of death is sin;  and the strength of sin is the law. But, thanks be to God who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! 1 Corth. 15:55-57

When someone dies, we sometimes hear loved ones telling them at their grave site: RIP


But, I praise God, that I do not have to tell her to RIP, because I know she is now resting in the arms of her Savior. She indeed, is resting in his peace! For now and  forever more.

I will be back in a couple days. Probably Saturday or maybe Sunday. Til then, Gods blessings be poured out on you!
