An Escort Through The Valley

October 15, 2012

I’ve heard people say, “I’m not afraid of death because I’m confident that I’m going to heaven; it’s the dying process that scares me!” Yes, as Christians, we look forward to heaven but may be afraid of dying. We need not be ashamed to admit that. It is natural to be afraid of the pain that comes with dying, of being separated from our loved ones, of possibly impoverishing our families, and of regret over missed earthly opportunities.

Why don’t Christians need to be afraid of death? Because Jesus was raised from the grave, and we who are in Christ will also be raised. That is why in 1 Corinthians 15:56-57, Paul proclaimed: “The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

The dying process itself is but an escort that ushers us into eternity with God. As we “walk through the valley of the shadow of death,” we can have this confidence from God’s Word: “You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me” (Ps. 23:4). The picture here is of the Lord coming alongside us, giving comfort and direction as He escorts us through the dark valley to the “house of the Lord.” There we will dwell with Him forever (v.6).

Think of just crossing a river,
Stepping out safe on that shore,
Sadness and suffering over,
Dwelling with Christ evermore! —Anon.
Death is the last shadow before heaven’s dawn.

Read: Psalm 23

O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory? —1 Corinthians 15:55
Bible in a Year:
Matthew 8-11

Good morning, Canteen.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
KUDOS and thank you go out to
Harold O. Messerschmidt
for his service and sacrifice.

DC Metroland weather report

~ Today...Rain showers early
with scattered thunderstorms arriving for the afternoon.
High 68F. Winds SW at 10 to 15 mph.
Chance of rain 50%.

~ Tonight...Some clouds this evening
will give way to mainly clear skies overnight.
Low 48F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

Looks like we may get some much needed rain.
I want the rain but hope I can get in my morning walk
before it arrives.

We had a beautiful weekend...weather-wise.
But didn't get all the chores done that we wanted.

We rented two movies from RedBox this weekend.
They're new in our area, we originally had Blockbuster kiosks.
(must say I like the RedBox better)
Anyhoo...watched Act of Valor
(awesome movie...nail-biter movie if you love your troops)
and Battleship. Another movie worth seeing.
I need to see it again since my mother called at the beginning
to discuss Buffoon Biden.

Gotta make my rounds.
But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!

The FR Canteen is

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.
