A Funeral for Baby
Sustained by Faith, Family, Friends, and Fellowship
What I can never forget is the question that this precious little girl asked her mommy just before the accident. She asked "Mommy, what does God look like?" Today this girl could tell us a few things about what God looks like and also give us a vivid description of what heaven is like.
As I said in my previous article, we don't have to grieve like the world does who don't know Christ but even today I can cry at the drop of a hat when I think of that young girl in the casket and being lowered into the ground but it is only a shell. Her life being, her spirit, are truly with the Lord Jesus Christ today. I leave you with these comforting words from Paul in I Thessalonians 4:13-18. "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words."
"...Amen. Even so, come, Lord." Jesus speaking in Revelation 22:20.

Post a Commenti am very sorry for your loss god bless you and your family
You and your family remain in my prayers :)
God's perfect Angel! I'm so sorry for your family's loss. Only the fact that she is with Jesus makes it bearable.
Still praying for you and them, hope everyone is doing well. God bless! :-D
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Jack, I'm so sorry to hear about your little darling. I add my tears to yours for the pain the family is enduring. It is such a blessing amidst the tears to know that she is safe and happy with Jesus, and that we will soon be too. I'm sorry I missed this when you first posted, I was in the hospital for a while, but I'm getting stronger now.
Wednesdays are now a one list my five list (http://www.listmyfive.com/bridgetidelaney) day (and it doesn't make much money, but I appreciate views of my lists if you have the time) and then returning comments day - I'll catch up one of these days, I just don't know when!
Jack, my heart goes out to you and your family. But what a blessing to know where she is now. How tragic for those who don't know the Truth and can only look on such a situation as a permanent loss. I look forward to meeting her one day and rejoicing with you over her company.
That little girl knows what we all so long to know. But, we will know soon enough, and what a glorious and joyful day it will be! No more tears and no more pain. Awesome!
It's so difficult to think of the funeral of a child. Funerals this month have made February darker than it usually is. Thankfully we have the hope and joy of being reunited. Praise God.
