Tomorrow marks the one month mark since my father died. I am still numb and struggling to come to grips with the fact that I will not see my father on this side of eternity again. It was very painful to watch him take his last breath while I held his left hand. Little by little I am realizing the gravity of how irreparably our lives are changed. I do not grieve for my father because he is in the home that Jesus prepared for him (John 14:1-6) and no longer has to fight against all of the sickness in his body. Selfishly I grieve for the loss of those of us who knew him and loved him. I have been reading the book "Heaven" by Randy Alcorn. It has been a good read. I bought it because I wanted to have a better understanding of what my dad was experiencing. Though our minds can't fully comprehend the wonders and glory that awaits those who are born again followers of Jesus this book has given me a good basic understanding of what heaven is like (both now and the future heaven). Hope everyone has a blessed day where they remember their Creator and give Him thanks for all of the good things which He gives us.
