“Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.”
Job 1:20-21
I honestly can’t believe that this weekend marks four years since my “Bobbie” passed away. Has it only been four years? It seems like much longer since I last talked to him on the phone. It seems a lot longer since I last heard his big brother voice commanding me to have mom and dad call him back before I forgot…again. It seems longer than four years since I told him that of course I would…and that I loved him.
What makes me smile is to think that to Kevin, it probably seems like he has only been in the presence of his heavenly Father for but a few moments. He’s possibly still in the initial “shock and awe” of it all. I’m sooo jealous of and sooo happy for my big brother because he’s finally HOME. He’s no longer has to suffer on this earth in his feeble body! I can only imagine what glories he is experiencing! Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Finally, I’m also thankful that in Christ…there are no goodbyes.
See ya soon, Bobbie. Love ya more.
