A Garden of Comfort

Even though we know our Christian loved ones go on to eternal life with the Lord after death, we miss their earthly presence. We feel lonely without them. We miss their loving touch, kind words, joyous laughter, and  inner strength. They lived in faith, and they walked in faith with us. We have so many memories. But it is our faith that gives us the inner strength to feel joy for the time shared together, joy for their eternal life, and eventually joy in going on without them.

Bible Verses That Shares The Joy For The Time Shared

A time for every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born,

A time to plant,

A time to kill,
    And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
    And a time to build up;
A time to weep,
    And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
    And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones,
    And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
