There have been changes in my schedule since last week. I tested positive for covid so my routine changed. I notified friends and relatives and was helped by concern, prayers and things I needed. The medication I was prescribed kept the pain at a minimum. I will be shouting and praising God Friday, August 26th when I will be out and about without a mask.
I have spent time reading and finished a book by Lee Strobel, New York Times best selling author, THE CASE FOR Heaven; a journalist investigates evidence for life after death. This topic has been on my mind since my husband Larry died 11-22-20. I won’t be able to quote from the book because of copyright regulations but can highly recommend it.
An epitaph on a century-old tombstone is a reminder of death for all of us: Pause, stranger, when you pass by; As you are now, so once was I. As I am now, so you will be, So prepare for death and follow me. An unknown visitor scrawled a reply: To follow you I’m not content Until I know which way you went.
John 11:25 NIV…. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.”
