This has been a gut-wrenching season, as I recently got word that I'd unexpectedly lost a friend and my mentor in the world of Australian Labradoodles. I've been reminded yet again how quickly plans can change and how unexpectedly life can end.
This present world is broken and full of heartbreak, but the Easter season reminds me that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the gateway into unending joy for all those who will put their faith in who He is (God's Son) & what He has done by dying and rising again on our behalf. He made a way for us to know a richer, fuller, and more joy-filled life after this one is over.
"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?'” (John 11:25)
With God's help, I do believe it. And in dark times that make me contemplate death, nothing can bring hope like this truth. If you're one who prays, I'd sure appreciate it if you'd pray for the loved ones & friends Frank left behind. Hearts are broken that only God can heal.
