My Father 10/24/1934 - 04/18/2004

I lost my father back in April of 2004 and the images I have on that day are still burned into my mind. He had been fighting several ailments consisting of congestive heart failure, diabetes and the worst of them the dreaded cancer. The cancer was found back in the fall/winter of 2003. The thing was the cancer wasn't what took his life. It was the congestive heart failure. God really carried me through that year. In fact God had me writing my eulogy for the funeral 60 days prior to his death! In addition God told me to get back to the hospital the day before he passed. Praise God that my father was saved and he is now spending eternity with the Lord Jesus Christ! He is there waiting for me. I miss my father here on earth and there are times that things happen in my life whether good or bad I wanted to call him on the phone and tell him about it.

I wonder if we as believers will be able to see what goes on with our families here on earth after we have gone? I wonder if God would allow us to be here on earth to watch our children grow and their children and so on and so forth till the rapture?

Here is something to think about. We only experience death once through the Lord Jesus Christ! Those that are without experience two deaths.


And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
(Revelation 21:4)
