It seems that death comes in waves. Recently someone dear to me passed. Soon after, a dear friend's mother passed. A couple days ago, another dear friend lost her father.
It makes one think. No one knows their day or time. If we did know, what might we do differently. Maybe give an extra long hug, say more words of love, do acts of kindness for those you love, share God's love with others, etc.
Thankfully those I know who recently passed know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, so they are celebrating with Him in Heaven. Knowing this eases the loss but it doesn't negate the loss.
Lord, wrap your loving arms around those who have recently lost a family member or dear friend. Give them peace. Bring to their mind fond memories of their loved one. Let your joy flow through them. Bless them all. In Jesus' precious name. Amen.
