I felt all the emotions that anyone would feel at such a personal loss. But I also felt great strength from my Christian faith which sustained me in my hour of need. If you will look around this morning, you will notice the trees are turning. Leaves are falling. Seeds are dropping to the ground.
Autumn is here, and winter is soon to come.
But one day not far away, spring is sure to follow. Death will vibrate with life. Seeds will begin to grown. What died and was buried will come alive again. The Bible says this is all an apt picture for what happens to a Christian when death comes.
