Over Easter weekend we lost my Aunt Alice in a car wreck. Aunt Alice was a kind, happy, giving, caring woman and her death sure is a loss. If I tried hard I could probably count precisely how many times I had seen her over the course of my life, I have never lived close to that part of my family, but she always had a big hug for me, knew exactly what was going on in my life each time we got together and she always took me right in like I just lived next door.
I like my family.
It's only when the race ends that you know how you place. When I found out Aunt Alice had died (and her race was over) I said to myself "wow, that was a good woman".
I actually know another person who died over Easter weekend, He however did not stay dead for long.
Any of us can go at any time, the only question is where you'll end up. Heaven isn't the place where perfect people go after they die. Heaven is the place where people go after they accept that they need help down here and they reach out to the hand up that's being offered.
If you haven't accepted Christ's sacrifice and haven't talked to Him about some of the things you'd rather keep hidden, First thing: Don't wait, Second thing: Don't worry, you won't be telling Him anything He doesn't already know about you anyway. He's just going to be really happy to hear from you.
Write in with questions if you want to know more.
