This world is not my home

 

Favorite moment of the day(2009): This is tough considering what happened this afternoon with the puppy but I'm gonna have to say...being off until January and having lots of time to spend with my wonderful kids and hubby...and family and friends.

*Note:  The incident with the puppy was devastating for everyone.  While in a hurry to get somewhere, the puppy got under the tire of the truck as Jamison was backing out of the driveway.  Triston was in the truck with him and it was his puppy, one of Belle’s pups that we decided to keep.  We buried it in the backyard and had a short funeral.

Loss is hard.  Especially around holidays.  Even though this was the loss of a furry family member, it still hurt.  Jesus heals and covers our grieving hearts over time, knowing that we won't ever forget our loved ones, but comforting us and giving us peace with each passing day.  Sometimes I hear a song or see something that reminds me of a deceased friend or family member and it is in those moments that I smile and feel God warming my heart and soul and giving me hope that we will be reunited in Heaven one day.  We are all on this Earth temporarily. Tomorrow is not promised; it is a privilege.

"This world is not my home.  I'm just a-passing through." Albert E. Brumley 1937
