"LIFE and DEATH"

I must seek in all ways to live my life each day, as if it were to be my last. For how I Live, so will I Die. In reality, Death should be an Exciting, Faith Filled Expectation of an ENCOUNTER with Infinite Love.

So often there are those who "Fear" the Spector of Death, imagining it to be separation from those "things" that they thought had made them either fulfilled or happy during life, But the opposite is True, for all the accumulation of wealth is as dung compared to that which awaits us as Children of our Loving and Affectionate Father God.

Those "Things" were more like weights that rather than allowing the Soul to soar, would in some way try to hold them down, fighting against the Magnificent Encounter that thier Soul had Longed for since thier Baptism.

All of the Beauty, Joy and Love that one expressed throughout thier lives upon this earth, regardless of thier insufficiency or lack of Perfection, will continue on into all of Eternity. And because of The Merciful and Loving Forgiveness of God, they are made Perfect, making all Fear of Death to be swallowed up in the Trust of a God, Who for love of each one of us, became Man and Died upon The Cross, solely so that He could spend an Eternity manifesting, Forever, His Infinite Love.

Therefore, when Aproaching our Last moments upon this earth, rather than "Fear" Death, let us cry out in heartfelt Love, "Oh Most Loving and Affectionate Father, Into Your Hands, I Commend My Spirit."

God Bless You
