ARE YOU READY?

ARE YOU READY?
 
In the last two weeks three of my friends have lost either their father or their mother.  I know the hurt of losing a parent since my father passed away a year and a half ago and my mother over eight years ago.  It is a bittersweet time in life. 
It is a sad and difficult time here not wanting to let go knowing we will miss them terribly, but it is a sweet joyful time when we know our loved one has gone on to be with Jesus in heaven for eternity.
 
We also know there is a reunion with those who are already in heaven.  We can rejoice knowing they have new bodies and no more pain or sadness.  It is good to comfort one another here with these thoughts. 
 
Life is short and life is fragile.  We do not know when our last breathe will be so we need to ready when our time on earth is over.  Are you ready?
