M.L.Hurt
Very sorry to read of the passing of your dear loved one Eli. It seems that life is such a precious gift and yet so short-lived for the time we exist. \r\nGod holds out a wonderful hope for all those in the grave. At John 11;25 Jesus said \" I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. HE THAT EXERCIES FAITH IN ME, EVEN THOUGH HE DIES, WILL COME TO LIFE.\"\r\nThe bible gives nine accounts of ones who were resurrected. What a blessed reason to hope in God! (John 5-28,29)\r\nWe all have been given the gift of our memories. As you and yours start to heal the memories of Eli will bring you great joy.\r\nGrieving is the normal and natural respond to the loss of some one you love. I found three ways that helped me. Talking and writing about my feelings. Also reading the information in the bible about the resurrection.\r\nContinue to lean on Jehovah God for the strength you need at this sad time. (Psalms 83-18)\r\nSincerely\r\nM.L.Hurt
