Pictured above is a sunset at the end of February 2012
As of a recent report, 38 people have died across multiple states in the Midwest and the South. Life is so fragile. One man had just opened an auto repair shop in the Fall. His neighbor had opened a restaurant one month ago. Each business was obliterated. The owner of the repair shop shared that his wife had totaled her car in the midst of attempting to get to her family at some point during the storm. The owner of the repair shop, now gone, nevertheless stated emphatically that his family had survived. This man clearly knew what is of most value in this life...the relationships we have in this world, which transcend time, space, and even separation in death. We can be robbed of most everything except the relationships with which we've been blessed. And even when we have to say good-bye to the ones whom we cherish in this world, "the circle will be unbroken" one day. When we cling to the promises of God, our relationships will resume. Remember what I've written before...A sunset in this temporal world is a sunrise in the Halls of Heaven...
