Time Is Moving On

 I'm sure we all feel the hurry and bustle of everyday life going at such a "breakneck" speed all around us. Holidays so fast approaching and soon a new year, yet again. We may think of many things that have happened in our families and friends lives over the past year. It would be rare for anyone not have experienced a loss of a family member or friend. The more we age the more we lose each year. Many families may have new little ones they enjoyed welcoming into their families. They are gifts from God, like no other we may think of. Although we lose family and friends we have enjoyed for our lifetime, isn't it like God taking them home when we lose them here on earth?The joys of heaven can be theirs and ours, when we realize we are only here for such a short time to prepare us for an eternal home. We do not live without hope or promise of a better life beyond what our eyes may see, our small minds comprehend. Many will feel the lack of the physical presence of those gone into eternity for the first time since their departure this year, others memories of times past. Our lives change too without them, but take heart God never leaves us , although we grieve.  We were made to love each other and support those that sorrow. We are given those strengths for a reason, because this is what we call LIFE, a gift.
