May the Lord teach us to live lives of gratitude without having to experience pain/hurt.<br />Lord we ask that you grant Ayoola eternal rest and we that remain, keep us focused on you till we are called to spend eternity with you face to face in Jesus name.<br />We aught to learn from this, to never take for granted the safety instructions we are told before a flight takes off, when its broken fix it rather than manage it, make each day count in however little way you can.

Several debilitating tragedies later, I am a little wiser for the truth. I still believe some will not sleep until Christ comes...but I can assure you that I don't take anything for granted. Yes, I get emotional and do stupid things but that, my dear, is living your humanity and what are we if not humans? I wouldn't want to live like a zombie, having nothing to work with to reach my state of perfection according to God's plan. I will be like all the other men of old, God is going to work out the kinks - the hapless anger management, the covetous spirit, the greedy hoarder instinct - and until He makes me into the image of Christ, it won't be over (for me). I don't know how far this walk will be, but I am learning to place this scared heart in His hands, and wait for Him to call me. The Lord strengthen those who have lost loved ones, may the departed be at peace (and hopefully, believers will wait in sleep for their call to join the myriads that are going to heaven). Above all, for those like me, shaken to my roots by all this loss, may God give us the insight to hold on to Him (even if we want to run and hide from Him when things like this happen) and above all let the faith stand till the end. Amen.<br /><br />cheers<br /><br />Mary (Omo Jesu)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
