“But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.”

When someone we love dies, there is little anyone can say or do that makes us feel better. But there is much comfort in knowing that they have gone to live with the Lord and that one day we will see them again.

HEAVENLY FATHER, HOW THANKFUL I AM THAT YOU LOVE ME SO MUCH THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME THE PROMISE OF EVERLASTING LIFE. WHEN I AM SAD AND MISSING THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE GONE ON BEFORE ME, HELP ME TO REMEMBER THAT WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN IN HEAVEN. AMEN.
