When it rains it pours!
Yesterday was a whopper of a day, I must say! I heard of 4 deaths. - Can you imagine? I only posted about Cesco as he's the one that was nearest and dearest, but to all those that are grieving, I'm praying for you!
On the other hand, I know all those that passed on are now happier where they are, so I don't want to ruin their fun and joy by being all mopey. It's our loss, their gain!
Death takes our loved ones--
We are bowed in grief. For whom?
Are we not selfish?
A mourner weeps for himself,
The dead know nought of sorrow.
--Margaret E. Bruner

So true! And likewise, I will rejoice for their promotion! They're now graduated to greater things and awesome rewards. - I'm sure of it
News came that you were dead. I did not believe a word of it.
I knew that at that moment you were more alive than I am now.
For there is no death. No. Not for the Christian!
There is only an honourable discharge from the battles of life,
A promotion to Heavenly officership,
That glorious moment to step forward
And hear the Great Commander-in-Chief say,
"Well done, good and faithful soldier!
Come, enter into your Eternal reward"!
There is no death. Not for the Christian.
Only the soul's blessed release from dark prison.
Only a passage out of that prison into a palace.
Only a golden key that unlocks the treasures of Eternity.
No, my friend, you are not dead.
You will be alive when the mountains are gone.
--Alive when the rivers cease their running toward the sea!
You have gone higher, that is all.
Out of this old mud shack, into a house that is immortal,
A body that no enemy can attack!
"Dust thou art, to dust thou shalt return"
Was not spoken of the spirit.
You don't really die, you just keep on living,
And go straight into the presence of the Lord!

I weep, dear friend, because I miss you.
If I were unselfish I would be rejoicing with you,
Thanking God that you are with Him!
Thanking God that your troubles are over!
No more crying, no more pain, no more sorrow,
Nothing but eternal happiness in Heaven forever!

Yes, we are so selfish about death,
We count our grief far more than your joy!
We go to the grave of a friend, saying, "A man is dead".
But angels throng about him saying, "A man is born!"
So for now, farewell, my friend!
We shall meet again!

That was a beautiful blog.

I just read your post. I was close to them when living in Ukraine and visiting their Home occasionally. Was there when the first baby was just born. I am praying for them. Is there any way I can send a little note to Pris? I do not have her mail now... Who else died in an accident? Thank you for writing. Esther (photosfromfar@yahoo.com)
