LIFE IS SHORT...ETERNITY ISN'T

Today I went to the funeral of a 19 yr old boy. As I stood there and listened to one of the Preachers speak about V, I thought to myself.....this was suppose to be......this was God's plan..... and it was so obvious that V knew that too. I heard the Preacher say this is the funeral that V had planned...he wanted the white suit, the white casket, he even picked what songs he wanted to have sung/played....the funeral, as sad as it was to stand there and watch his family in agony for having to say goodbye today....there was also the hope that they will see him again one day in Heaven.....for this Preacher knew without a doubt that V had Jesus in his heart. I know that in time this will be their comfort and this is what will carry them through each day...knowing they will see him again in Heaven.....you ask me how I know......this is what I have held onto since that day in March when I kissed my sweet sweet Angel goodbye. My sweet Angel was my 9 day old Nephew, Brody. I still miss him as much today as I did in March...if not even more.....I still cry for him .....and long to hold him..... everyday I look at his sweet perfect pictures and every night and every morning when I have my time just talking with God, I ask him to tell Brody how much he is loved and give him hugs and kisses from me....to some that may be silly but this is how I cope. One last thing that was said today at V's funeral is this; if we knew the answers to all the "whys" in life then we wouldn't need our faith.......
