Subject: Will you see lost loved ones in heaven? |
Bible Note: Dear Pastor,I don't think you understood my response. I agree with you. I know what happened to my son was an accident and I have never thought of my son as a flower in God's garden. I do, however, believe that God's grace made Chris's accident a little easier to bear for me by others seeing how precious life is and making a decision to serve God now. It helps me to know that my son's accident had a part in his friends and others living for Christ today.Even though prayer in school has been outlawed, the day my son died the principal lead students who wanted to pray in a prayer...in school! The school also made a memorial for my son over the summer months. All students were invited to participate, if they wanted to, in making it. I do believe that grief can make people stronger in the Lord. When you hit rock bottom there is only one way to look and that is up!I know that because of my circumstnces with not just my grief now, but from trals in the past I am able to help others with the strength I have been given, it has been a gift to me.I am able to encourage people to understand that no trail is too great if you know Jesus. If I had fallen in any trail, I may be like thousands of others who need drugs to cope and cant keep a job beacuse the stress overwhelms them . Because of my previous trails, I am able to overcome things through God...... On a lighter note, I am very happy to hear of your son coming through some bad times...God is good! I do also believe that my son is in the presence of the Lord. I would just like to find the passage to help me on days when I am feeling really down. I know that sounds crazy! I do hve many cripturs that I reference on those days, the one you sent me is one of them.I would like to thank you again though for taking the time to respond. Just knowing that people care helps alot in itself. Oh, on a final note,I've been divorced for 10 years and I am female :) God bless you and your family! |
