There were six in my family of origin and with her departure, there are now only three. In a period of a little more than two years, three members of my family have died. Dad's homegoing in September 2021 and then my brother David's only three months later were heartbreaking and difficult. But for some reason that I can't explain Mom's homegoing more than the others changed my thoughts and feelings about the afterlife. My belief has not changed, but my perception has.
Heaven seems so much more real. Eternity so close. I am more aware of the fragility of this life. And I think often of the fact that each of us is only one breath away from eternity. One breath!
So, it is imperative that we have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The Bible tells us He is the only way to the Father (John 14:6). It also says that we will all die and we will all face judgment (Hebrews 9:27).
I want to remind you that there is nothing more important in life than making the decision to accept and serve Christ! Where you will spend eternity depends on it.
