Nothing grabs my attention more than a
beautiful sunset. With great skill, God the master artist speckles
the sunlight with dust to create that orange glow. Then on other
days He swooshes the clouds and sun rays across the sky to form
spectacular pictures.
As the sun sets and the evening draws
nigh our time of rest has come. Yet as we sleep the earth turns and
we know that with the dawn of a new day, the pattern will repeat and
it won't be long before the sun will set again.
I've been deeply touched over the past
few weeks, by friends who have had family members ill in hospital, by
friends loosing a life long companion pet but even more deeply by
friends who have lost loved ones that I have known well and cared
deeply for.
As the sun has set on these precious
lives, I know that not only will life continue for those left behind
but that those who have departed will face the joy of an eternity of
sunrises, but now in God's presence. My heart goes out in sympathy
and compassion to all of you.
Written in loving memory of Esme Lubbe
for whom we will say a final farewell tomorrow.
