Homegoing

These words I now write, I write them in sorrow.
For one faithful brother there will be no tomorrow.

He's done with his suffering, now he can rejoice.
He stands with his Savior and lifts up his voice.

His journey was long and the pathway well worn
But now in his passing he has been reborn.

Those left behing with their eyes full of tears,
Know they'll see him again when the Savior appears.

One brother in Christ went home to his Savior on January 30th.  He has had many years of service and even in his trials he still praised the Lord and still sought after him.  Please pray for the George family as they mourn the loss of a father and husband.

This loss as well as any other that comes brings me back to that day that I found out Dylan had passed away.  I hear of someone losing their family member or spouse and I instantly feel the pain I felt as I read all the goodbyes on his wall.  I cried as I tried to understand it.  My heart didn't want to admit it but he was gone.  He left this world a trooper for his Lord and he served his time here on Earth.  As much as I wish he could come back to me I know he is in a much better place and in much better circumstances. 

One good thing I have found in Dylan's passing is my ability to comfort others.  I know what they are going through to some degree when they are suffering a loss.  I am able to give them advice on how I handled it and what not to do.  I can also encourage them that if that person knew God as their Lord and Savior that they would see them again.  Death isn't the final goodbye, it's just see you later. 

It's really late and I need to get in bed.  Good Night, Readers!
