GRIEF

I just found out about the deaths of 3 young men in our surrounding communities this past weekend, and I'm hurting deeply for those families. I only knew of one of the young men, and not very well at that. He was a twin and as a child, attended the same church we did. The family moved and then we left to attend a different church. It matters not whether I knew these kids well, I hurt so much for their families. My children are close to the same age and I believe it would devestate me to lose my kids. I know people endure this every day, but that doesn't make it easy. My prayers and heavy heart go out to these families. I do believe our acquaintance will be with God in eternity........if you are not sure about where your eternity will be spent, you can be. Contact me or any Pastor of your local church to help guide you to that knowledge. If you don't want to speak openly to someone, then grab a bible and read the New Testament books of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. Romans can give you great insight as well. After that, read the rest! Then call somebody, don't spend the rest of your life (which may be unexpectantly shortened) wondering.

What a good post, Tami!!! You are so right about life being just a vapor and how we need the assurance of salvation. God wants ALL to come to Him through Jesus Christ.

Psalm 144: vs.4 says:
Man is like to vanity:
his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Good post Tami.
