Today I’m going to my aunt’s funeral. She was my Mom’s sister, and two years older. It was great to see cousins I hadn’t seen in years at the viewing yesterday. So many memories.

Saying good-bye to someone who has been a fixture in your life isn’t easy. It changes everything.

But there is a hope when we know they were a person of faith. Labors on this earth are over. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord…just that fast. Everything we’ve struggled through down here will be worth it then. Eternity has greater value the longer we wait.

Live life to the full, and then enter real fullness in Father’s House. This is my aunt’s pay day.
