Romans 8:18 - Our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.
Through the loss of our son to cancer I learned that we never know what tomorrow holds. I became aware, to live each day as if it were my last day, to not put things off as I might not have another chance to accomplish the things I had planned to do.
While feeling so helpless, I experienced the power of God. He spoke to me through a fictional book : Wish You Well, showing me that my purpose was to love all I could for as long as I could. He sent me strength through church friends who always called, or came by when I was at my weakes point. Although my world was crumbling around me, God gave me peace and He helped me bear my grief.
My husband and I thank God for allowing us to have our son for 39 years and we rejoice that he is experiencing all of God's glory. I have days that I feel sad that he is not here with us, but am comforted knowing he is safe within the love of my heavenly Father.
"As precious as life on earth is, it doesn't compare to life with God in heaven". Upper Room
