What a world...<br /><br />Thanks so much for the kind comment :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093962932172006220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726963612523301492.post-49950156283983483002013-04-18T10:29:50.599-07:002013-04-18T10:29:50.599-07:00Thanks mom :)

This world is scary, and I really have to limit what I expose myself to or I find that my anxiety and depression really flares up. But I'm so thankful that this world is only temporary. I eagerly await Christ's return and, in the meantime, I too am very thankful for His grace and the freedom I have in Him. I think it's wonderful that you were able to chat with the Jehovah Witness woman. God's Word never returns void so no matter how unprepared you were, know that God will use it! Glad to hear that your SIL is unharmed.

Very sobering, indeed.<br />I'll just say AMEN to your last few paragraphs. "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope." (I Thessalonians 4:13)<br />(As an aside, I remember being a mom of small children when Mr. Hooper died on Sesame Street,and that segment where they're trying to explain to Big Bird that Mr. Hooper is not coming back had me bawling my eyes out. It's hard to talk to children, and big yellow childlike birds, about death, because it is so unnatural. It wasn't intended to be this way.)<br />I just had a personal epiphany. You know how I have such a hard time with Goodbyes? It just occurred to me that in a way, every Goodbye is like a little death, or at least a small prelude of the Big Goodbye to come.<br />Anyway, thanks for this post--some goods news and some food for thought.<br />Love you<br />~Mom<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
