We never know when it is our time.

Just recently I lost my step-father. It was the first time in my life ever that i truly understand that hey we never know when our time is, and so the bible says in Ecclesiastes 3 there is a time for every thing. In the same book chapter 12:1 it also says "Remember your creator while you are young, before the days of trouble come and the years when you say "i find no pleasure in them"....

We all mourn differently but instead i have realized that death isn't such a bad thing, it is all in God's plan and we are warned to enjoy life a life that pleases him that is, so when we do go, no matter how young or old, it is because it was time He always does things on time.
I thank him for the time I have been given and my children have been given to enjoy my step-father's spirit, his love and knowledgeable nature. I understand that God remembers that we are all dust and will return that way. I just pray that the people that don't know Him, try to understand, and understanding comes with faith, faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen, ask for understanding because not always what His words say is what it really means.
I have lost so many people sisters, grandparents, uncles, aunts, step-father, and only now are my tears comforted by him because i see it now, they were before but i didn't allow him to comfort me or even in my heart, instead i blamed Him and was angry at Him.
What a blessing it is to be able to understand that EVERYTHING IN OUR LIVES GOOD OR BAD HAPPENS FOR THE GOOD IN GOD, GOD ALWAYS HAS A PLAN.
My mother lost her best friend Jan 27/2009, God is treating with her even if she truly does not see it right now, it is up to her to allow Him to use her, otherwise He will keep treating with her. Death in my eyes is really life, if we know Jesus and are baptized in His name. Acts 2:38.

Thank you Father for you Mercy and Grace, for the understanding of your word. For all the troubles and joys you bless me with each day. I pray Lord that you bless my mother, give her peace in her heart, wash her lord, renew her heart, forgive her for her faults, help her to be more like you God.
Amen.

God speed to Him rest in peace Andy Cohoe Jan 27/2009
