Death is around us everyday of our lives; whether on the news or movie, the passing of a loved one, or dogs getting put to sleep in my case.
Today I went to an amazing funeral for an amazing man that I wish I had the opportunity to spend more time with. We weren't related and we weren't even friends. But I care so deeply for the people that he loved that I felt we had a connection far beyond a simple relationship.
Today the funeral wasn't about mouring a death but celebrating the resurrection of the spirit. With Easter coming up soon, I realized that life is the dark place, that it's suppose to be. God casted out Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and sent him here, on earth. Separating them from a direct relationship with God. Instead, he sent his son to renew that direct connection.
God gives you great opportunity to enjoy life. To love with all your heart. To share your experiences and create memories. But in those trying times, in the sad, drowning days, remember that this is the dark place and someday, God will bring us to rest next to him. Until then, do your best because for God, your best is good enough.
