You’ll See Her Again

Bible in a Year:

• Isaiah 26–27
• Philippians 2

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

1 Corinthians 15:22

The room was dim and silent as I pulled a chair close to Jacquie’s bed. Before a three-year battle with cancer, my friend had been a vibrant person. I could still picture her laughing—eyes full of life, her face lit with a smile. Now she was quiet and still, and I was visiting her in a special care facility.

Not knowing what to say, I decided to read some Scripture. I pulled my Bible out of my purse and turned to a reference in 1 Corinthians and began to read.

After the visit and an emotional time in the seclusion of my parked car, a thought came to mind that slowed my tears: You’ll see her again. Caught up in sadness, I had forgotten that death is only temporary for believers (1 Corinthians 15:21–22). I knew I’d see Jacquie again because both of us had trusted in Jesus’ death and resurrection for the forgiveness of our sin (vv. 3–4). When Jesus came back to life after His crucifixion, death lost its ultimate power to separate believers from each other and from God. After we die, we’ll live again in heaven with God and all of our spiritual brothers and sisters—forever.

Because Jesus is alive today, believers in Him have hope in times of loss and sorrow. Death has been swallowed up in the victory of the cross (v. 54).

How has God comforted you in times of sorrow? How might He want to use you to comfort someone who’s grieving today?

Dear Jesus, thank You for dying for my sin. I believe that You’re alive today because God raised You from the dead.

WOO-HOO, it's Road Trip time, thanks Lauren!

Drove past the gate daily for about a year while working in DC’s warzone of Anacostia in the early 90’s.

The nice thing about these virtual road trips is that there is no traffic.

REQUEST PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD



CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (Jan. 14, 2008) The first major snowfall of the New Year blankets the USS Constitution. Despite the weather "Old Ironsides" remained open for free public tours. At 210 years-old, USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, manned by 67 active-duty United States Sailors and visited by nearly half a million visitors annually.

Howdy, lauren.

I suppose I’ve missed you since I was late getting back. Supper got in the way. :-)

I hope all’s well these days!

In 1969, I was with the Whittier High School band. We were in Washington, DC to participate in the Inaugural Parade for President Richard Nixon (Whittier High School was his alma mater). We assembled on the runway at Bolling Field before we headed to Northwest DC to begin our march down Pennsylvania Ave.

I recall that the base looked as though it had been abandoned--probably because it had ceased being used for airplanes in 1962.

Great road trip, lauren! Hope you and your family are doing well. We went to WY to see the kids recently, and it was so good to see our girls and how they've grown--they are 13 and 7. Piper is now taller than I am. I know...not hard to do, but STILL! LOL!

A very pleasant good Monday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks Lauren for this morning's thread.
