Suddenly
Hello dear ones, another coffee table discussion. Today is not an easy day for my family, we lost my cousin yesterday in the early hrs of the morning, she passed in her sleep. So let me set this up for you.
My mind can be a little dramatic at times and likes to race faster then a racehorse that being said. After receiving the news from her father and reading that message over and over and over yet again on repeat and it slowly but finally sinking in who he had just told us had passed. I started my day. I had an MRI scheduled and actually thought of canceling it I didn’t want to break down in the middle of the hospital. . . yeah no. . . Well what is hard wired into some women to do when life becomes complicated and the world seems to rest heavily on you or tragedy happens you cook. My grandmother came out of me yesterday I went deep into the freezer got out some chipped beef and went to town making chipped beef and biscuits (pillsbury I didn’t have time to make from scratch) as I went about cooking my mind raced from my Aunt and Uncle facing losing their baby girl to her husband and their kids and her grandkids. How it wasn’t fair. And right about there the Lord corrected me. The scripture he used surprised me but fit nonetheless Math 24:36 roughly put No man knows when the son of man will come. Jesus if referencing the second coming here telling his followers to be ready for suddenly his father will send him back. . . But in this instance I was being told no man knows when Jesus will come to meet them to go home to glory. Think about that for a minute we as humans aren’t promised a tomorrow we aren’t even promised our next breath. But we are promised that if we are born again Christ believing followers we will meet Jesus face to face when our last breath is breathed. That is little comfort to the ones left behind I know I’ve been there twice in a time span that’s been less than 2 years. But as I have heard many saints over the years say absent with the body present with the Lord simply meaning one day we’ll join them. . . though it maybe many many earthly days in the twinkling of an eye we will be absent from this earthly body and present with JESUS and our loved ones who have gone on before us. Though this may seem daunting because time has to pass no matter the amount when we are not with those we love. And I will testify to the fact that you will have your moments of utter ughly crying out of the blue randomly. The moment we get to heaven Jesus himself will wipe away the tears embrace you turn you toward the golden streets and say there they are, they have been waiting for you.
