Why is it so hard to say goodbye to those that we love. The thought of not seeing them again is scary and difficult. Life is hard enough. Give us the strength to make it through somehow. Open our eyes so that we can see the way that You do: that this life is not the end. Two thousand years have passed since Your resurrection and yet Your life still touches our hearts everyday. In Christ there are no good byes or end and because of You we can be strong and face this world knowing that You will not forsake us or leave us in our time of need. We are never alone. We are never abandoned. So let’s hold on to Jesus with all that we have. Jesus is the truth, the way, and the light. All who believe in Him, even in death, will live forever beyond this life. So Lord thank You for that promise, for your love and for you grace.
