BIRTH TO DEATH
A good name is better than a good ointment, and the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth. Ecclesiastes 7:1 NASB
When a child is born it usually brings us great happiness. When a loved one dies, it usually fills us with a great sorrow.
We tend to forget that being born into this physical world brings with it all of the ups and downs, joys and sorrows, and trials and tribulations of mortal life. Mortal life is not all cotton candy and fields of roses. Hopefully, a birth is the result of intimate love between loving partners. Hopefully a birth is not just the result of sexual lust. Hopefully a child’s birth is a loving addition into a loving family.
Death brings to a close our life in the physical world. It is an ending, but more importantly a new beginning, a fresh start. Death is our journey back into the loving arms of the Lord. We mourn the death of a family member or close friend because we will miss their daily presence in our earthly lives. It would be more appropriate to rejoice when a friend or family member dies because it begins their journey back to God. When we return to Heaven, we will be dancing with the Angels.
Dear Father, when our earthly journey ends, welcome us back to your home. Amen
