Lately, I have been thinking about death, weird right, but mainly because I had a dream I became ill and died. Of course it freaked me out not because I am afraid of dying, but a little mainly because my family. The idea of getting to rest eternally with my God is exciting, but not a good idea yet if my children are still young. So here are my thoughts on death, it can be a beautiful part of our journey. We aren't meant to be immortal. It is unknown what happens when we die, but I have faith that God will be there waiting. "....Be faithful until death and I will give you the crown of life." Revelations 2:10, here is one of my favorite from one of the gospels, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he die, he shall live." John 11:25
It also got me thinking about all I want our children to know about the Lord. So much to teach and so little time, lol!! The most important thing is that they know, understand, and live that Jesus Christ loves them so much He surrendered His life so that they could live eternally. This is how I would sum it up for them and you, "Christ loves us so much that He gave Himself as an ultimate sacrifice so we could live. It may seem at times in our lives that we definitely do not deserve such love, but it is through His grace that we need to humbly and with all our hearts except it, know it, and most importantly live our lives in surrender to Him. With this wisdom and openness of heart God can do mighty things for you always because you are His and He is your's!!! My children love God with all your heart, mind, and strength because apart from Him it is not a life worth living!!!!!" :) <3
