The Spirit Within
Yesterday I was watching a show that dealt with death. The spouse was mourning over the body of her husband. While I recognize the loss of a person's physical presence, it is the spirit and soul of a person that we truly love. It is important to focus on the life of a person, not the death. As C.S. Lewis says 'we are not a body, we are a soul in a body.' We need to accept and recognize how fast we will all wither away, just like a flower. However we are taken home is not what we want to be remembered for. I don't anyway. Maybe my blog book will help loved ones remember good times and what was important enough to me to write about.
No one can sustain their health on their own or forever. God has sustained me beyond what human minds could ever predict. His Spirit lives in me and through me. Only He knows when our numbered days are over.
I just wanted to write this because I know death is tough but it shouldn't shut you down and out of life. I know this happens but no one would wish that for the living. Believers can just look forward to that 'glad reunion day' because 'I've got a mansion just over the hilltop' and 'we will meet on that beautiful shore.'

Great post you are always focused on heaven and not this life. Love You --- Dad
ReplyDeleteGood blog. So many miss out on real living because they don't ever see the purpose God has for their life and that this portion on earth is nothing compared to eternity. With the Lord directing our paths, we can enjoy life here and the hereafter. Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post, Angie. Many fear death so much that they would fail to write about it. I pray that the Lord will give you many more years to write, so that when you go to glory others will have much to read and meditate on! I thank God for you.
