It is over...?

My sister isn't sick anymore. She has gone home, what does that mean?
To a Believer, both of us were that, she is in heaven and God's arms. This is what we hope for, this is what we believe.
We had her funeral yesterday, with me preaching the service. There were a good crowd there, her family and friends mostly with some friends of the family.
My sister started out with 3 daughters, the middle child died a few years back. The oldest has 2 fine boys, the middle daughter had 2 fine sons, and the youngest has a fine boy. Now none of these have the McIntosh name but they are that anyway. I have two fine sons, one has 2 children, one boy and one girl, and the other is still looking for the right wife. This branch of the tree still has a way to go.
The Family will go on. This is important to me. A few years back that wasn't necessary so or if it was I didn't know it. When you spend most of your waking hours total consumed with self it is hard to think very far ahead, this is where the big change came when I became a Believer in Christ. He took my eyes off of me and directed my thoughts to others, first the family and then outside.
Love it...life and all that goes with it. Unfortunately life really does have twists and turns but that is where we learn to depend upon Christ, we get strong in our afflictions.
I feel a trip coming on.

My Sister

Thinking Again

My only sister is really very sick. We visited her yesterday afternoon in the hospital and I got to wondering...why do we fight so hard just to live? Most of the time living is defined as breathing in and out...not so in my book. When you can not get out and about, visit friends, etc. living has come to an end.
Think about this!
