Today 10-11-2023

1 Thessalonians 4:13 NASB "But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as indeed the rest of mankind do, who have no hope."It's not a wish but a hope! Today's verse shares about having the hope of seeing our loved ones again! I can not pass October 11th without thinking of my dad. Although I think of him almost every day in some way, I know that one day I will see him again. Today would have been his earthly birthday but he is now in heaven and what a better place to enjoy the day! Without the knowledge of Jesus Christ, I would grieve as if not having the hope of seeing him again but for now, I hold on to the life lessons he taught me, how he lived Jesus Christ and I do my best to follow his example. Missing a loved one can be difficult but when we know Jesus, we can rest in the knowledge that we will see them again. Happy Birthday Dad, miss ya! peace, tom
