went to be with the Lord....

a great friend's sister recently went to be with the Lord. we sat and thought abit about what to write in her obituary. stuff that we don't write about daily, we needed to find templates for reference as well. we don't face death daily, either a relative, a friend, someone you know, so inevitably, you don't get very good at dealing with it. 


my heart pains for those who grieves for their loved ones. although, for us who has accepted Jesus as our Lord and personal Saviour, we believe that we are going home to be with Him when we lay our bodies to rest. so, as we attend her wake, we call it a celebration of life that she had lived, as well the eternal life she is living now. no, not death. 


to grieve now, it is a must for her loved ones. i will sit and just listen to my friend if she needs to pour her heart. i don't need to know the clever words to comfort her. as for the elders, never is it right for them to see the younger ones passed before them. grieve and mourn for this season, for there will be the time for joy in the next season, when you have found peace again. 


the verse we chose for her :
