Remembering our departed loved ones this All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day...♥

Beloved ones who have gone through the other side of eternity get honored today.

The impact they've had in our destinies continue to outlive their physical stay with us.

Can one really say that he has fully recovered from the loss of a dear parent,

 relative or friend?

Not in this lifetime.

Sadness comes and goes.

One day you think you've moved on,

 then it can hit you back anew.

Let us enjoy each other's company while we still can.

In today's age,

 love is spelled T-I-M-E.

Realizations like these make us come to terms with our own mortality.

Each sunrise and sunset will eventually lead us to our own turn.

"Dear Lord ~ teach us to number our days well,

that when we wake up every morning,

before our feet could even touch the floor,

may the real agenda of life be to glorify You."

Jesus has settled the score.

In Him,

 we live,

 move and have our wholeness.

And with that comes our own secured state of eternal bliss,

 rest and joy.

People die, memories don't.
Cherish the people in your life.
Let them know you love them
because sometimes our loved ones are taken away from us so suddenly
we never get to tell them how we really felt. ♥
