Recently the community in which I served for the past two and one half years suffered from the loss of one of it's own. The funeral was held this past Thursday and though I was not in attendance I'm sure many were saddened by this passing.
I've shared this passage with the one most affected by this death and I think it bears repeating. The Apostle Paul wrote in 2nd Timothy, "For I am already being poured out like a drink offering and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness...
Go in peace my sister in Christ. You did indeed fight the good fight, all the while keeping your faith. Now you've finished the race and you're wearing the crown in your heavenly home. We know that one day we'll all be together again in a world without end - Amen.
