Death Is Inconvenient

Death is inconvenient.

It doesn’t work around your schedule.

It adds work that no one has the energy to complete.

It creates decisions that no one wants to have to make.

Death won’t call you up and say “your loved one is on my list, what day does it suit you for me to take them?” Of course, were that to happen, the answer would be “never!”.

So Death comes.  He comes and takes your loved ones; leaving behind disrupted lives and schedules, empty places, and hurt.

But for the Christian, Death doesn’t win.

Just as Death is gleefully toting away his prize, One appears. He holds out his hand and says “this one is mine, I paid his price two thousand years ago and this child accepted me as his savior. Thank you Death, for bringing him home.”

So Death slinks away, defeated once again, as the loving father welcomes his child home.

Another son was called home Sunday October 19th a little after 1pm.

We will miss our grandpa, and Kolton will not remember him. This is the grandpa that Jason lived with for 2 1/2 years before we got married.  They lived closer than our parents, or other grandparents, so on the random Sunday afternoon when boredom struck, we would go and play games with them.

This was taken in the first part of August.  Kolton liked the warm little pocket tucked in there by grandpa.

A couple years ago they celebrated their 50th anniversary and a little while later I asked grandma questions about their love story and wrote it down here.

I ask that you will pray for our family during this time. We do not mourn as those who have no hope, but the ties of the flesh are strong and we will miss him greatly.

    So sorry for your loss-we know they have went on to a better place but we mourn that they are not here with us to enjoy each day. You explained Death just how I’ve thought about it too this last month (I recently lost my Mother). What a wonderful and beautiful post.

    I will pray over your family during that the difficult time, but so glad your family can rejoice in thid time too, because we have the peace of knowing his homecoming is our final day we leave for eternity that as all believers we long for! Hugs & may peace be with you!

    It is hard to say good-bye to the ones we love and hold so deeply in our hearts, but so thankful for the hope we have in God that we will see them again one special day in Heaven! Praying for you and your family.
