our lives matter - even after

From a friend:

This guy I went to school with died a couple of nights ago---He was a Godly man and posted uplifting things on fb---here is an example:

1.     Always Praying

Early Christians were urged by the apostle Paul to “pray without ceasing.” In Romans 12:12, Paul said: “always be prayerful. And in Ephesians 6:18, to “pray at all times and on every occasion.”
Unceasing prayer may sound complicated, but it needn’t be!
As you stand in line to register your car, think, “Thank you, Lord, for being here.” In the grocery store as you shop. As you load the dishwasher, worship your Maker.
Brother Lawrence was a well-known saint who called himself the “lord of pots and pans.” He wrote: “The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer; and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament.”
Though a rookie in the League of Unceasing Prayer, I sure enjoy the result! I think you will too.

Another school friend wrote me and told me he had passed---I went to his fb page and the things people were posting about him bring them to the Lord was so touching and I had such a loving feeling in my soul for sure he was up there with Jesus ---It was so weird—like God was saying good and faithful servant –things like that went through my head—it is hard to explain.

I am sending this to my home email because I want to place it in my blog (with your permission) because, as you said, the comfort that this gives you since you know he is with our Lord.

Our lives aren’t just for us.

They are for those who live beyond us.

We are here to worship our creator and by doing so we comfort those who know and love us and we also give them hope - they can have the same Love.

 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20
