Such a beautiful video. Please watch it. Feel its
truth and love.
I am more than thankful Jesus Christ paid for all my pain and hurt, so that I may give it to him and my burden may be a little lighter. I am so thankful we will all have eternal life and be together again. I know when I die I am going to that place called heaven. I believe Ollie went straight to work next to Heavenly Father and I hope to be good enough to be in their presence one day. I cant wait for the morning of the first resurrection when I see my sweet Ollie running to his family. What a wonderful reunion that will be. Until then, I pray for endurance, faith, hope, patience, love, and strength to make it through this life and onto the next act.
****I just noticed, Ollie and Jesus Christ were laid to rest the same day....We have said that Ollie has been the savior of our family in so many ways.
Tiffany,
ReplyDeleteI have been praying for you and Chris for the last couple weeks when I first read your blog. I am so sorry for the pain you are going through. I am glad it does bring you some comfort knowing your precious Ollie is in the presence of Jesus forever.
You made the comment about how you "hope to be good enough to be in their presence one day." Respectfully, I would like to share with you how you know you will be. The Bible says in Romans 3 that there is no one good. It is not our good works that make us acceptable to God. God accepts us when we trust in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are all born sinners which separates us from our holy God. But God demonstrated His love for us by dying on the cross (Romans 5:8). Jesus was the perfect sacrifice for sinners, He took our place, dying a death we deserve. However, it didn't end there, Jesus conquered death, sin, hell, and Satan when he rose! Jesus says in John 14:6 that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one comes to the Father but through Him. It's nothing we can do to earn eternal life, it's what Jesus has already done. All our righteousness are as filthy rags as Isaiah 64:6 says. But when Christ died for us He exchanged our sinfulness for His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21). A life of repentance (turning from our sin) and faith in Christ's gospel (Mark 1:15) from the beginning to the end is the evidence of a saving hope in Christ.
I continue to pray for you and your family. This life is hard, but some day God will make all things new when he will make a new heaven and new earth. I too look forward to seeing my son again.
Jennifer,
