Grieving and Thanking God

Cheryl, Mom, and Michael

My beloved mother carrying my sister and holding my hand.

But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.—1 Thessalonians 4:13-14, World English Bible

For more than 66 years, I had the sweetest, most loving mother I could possibly have. She lived her faith in Jesus Christ. She loved my Dad and all of her children, grandchildren, great-grand children, and even one great-great-grandchild. She prayed every day. She once visited a place that had a lot of idol worship, and she prayed that God would send more missionaries there. Later, God sent me there with my family. I am truly grateful to have had so much time with her. And I am grateful that she is no longer suffering from the infirmities that plagued the last few years of her life. See her obituary. So why do I grieve? Even Jesus wept, but we don’t grieve like the world grieves. We have hope in Jesus Christ!
