Quotable Sunday...

This has been a hard week for my family...I started the week on Monday, visiting and saying goodbye to my Sis In law Karen. We lost her on Wednesday. On Friday my Mom and Sis and I hurried down to Portland, as my wonderful Aunt Carol is fighting Pancreatic cancer (STAGE IV), and is rapidly declining as well.

So, guess what I have on my mind? Eternity...

Everything else pales at a time like this when people you love are coming close to, or have recently entered... their "Eternity".

The created world is but a small parenthesis in eternity.

Life, like a dome of many-colored glass, Stains the white radiance of eternity.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

John 14:2,3

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life. John 10:27, 28

The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23

  7. These speak volumes to me. I too suffered a loss of a loved one. My best friend's husband passed away on Tuesday. These quotes are extremely soothing to me.
