Death and Eternity

My co-worker/friend's dad passed away yesterday.
She found out at work.
She ran to my office and cried. I rubbed her back and whispered prayers of comfort.

Her dad is gone.
He has the hope of Jesus and I  know he's in heaven. That gives her great comfort.

What will happen when my parents leave this earth? My family? My friends?

How will I react? Will I feel peace, knowing that I loved them ferociously, that I did everything I could to create a strong and unique relationship with them? Will they know the depth of Jesus' love for them?

I pray all of this.
I pray that for all of my family and friends.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Matthew 28:19
