Revelations 21:4: "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away."
Every year, I try my best to become a dedicated and disciplined writer. My guide for this task is the annual NaNoWriMo--National Novel Writing Month. This is a challenge for writers great and small to begin on November 1 and write faithfully for a year until October 31 of the following year.
So I will begin again--this time with a purpose of humbly spreading the love of God and our Savior, Jesus, while giving, perhaps, some helpful insights from 55 years of practice in being human.
------------------------------------------------------------
Today is All Saint's Day. I grew up in the Methodist Church and am now a practicing Lutheran. In both churches we honor and recognize those members who have passed away during the church year.We remember their lives here on earth and the love that they shared with so many; more importantly, we celebrate Christ's victory for us over death. We know that the time span during our lives as mortals is fleeting--our true eternal life will be in Heaven with our Heavenly Father and all the saints who have walked this earth. Nevertheless, our lives, while here, are indeed precious. We are entrusted with a great purpose--to share the love of Christ, our Savior and teacher of perfect love and sacrifice.
As I reflect on this day, I feel incredibly blessed and at peace to know this wonderful message of eternal love. My prayer today is that I live the message of God's love.
My God's peace be with you.
