This is a time given to us on our calendars to reflect upon the resurrection of our Lord, the overcoming of sin and death, of the new body, and eternal life. I was thinking this morning about the shortness of Jesus' years on earth - only 33. It was not too short, there were not things left undone, he didn't have a "bucket list" with items still unfulfilled. It was perfect, His life was exactly as God his father intended it to be, just as each of ours are, for those of us who are submitted to His lordship.
Jenny spend many hours a day sleeping, she doesn't have many items on her to do list, her calendar is not full of appointments, she is at peace. I take great comfort that She is right where God has placed her, in this place, at this time, totally at peace, knowing that on the other side of this life is one far better and forever.
As we mark this weekend as a time of remembering the death and resurrection of our Savior, I am so thankful that he has removed our fear of death and is our model of complete trust and acceptance of the grace and love shown by our loving father in heaven.
May all of you enjoy God's peace this easter....
You are fulfilling your purpose, Jenny! All in the hands of Jesus, who has the last word in love when we face our weaknesses and fears. Love you guys so much!
