He flies there. 

He enters there in His fullness;

He communicates Himself to that soul abundantly."

Never Say Goodbye

Posted by Molly

People I love are on the move.  Great opportunities.  New Adventures.  Exciting far off places to live and love and work.  These moves are all a good thing.  But change, even positive change, is hard.  And no one likes to say goodbye.

So I don't do it.

I refuse.

One of my favorite things about my faith is that it allows me to believe that when there is love, there is no end.
It's what enables us to get through the death of a loved one.  We know we'll see each other again in heaven.  We know that God's kingdom has no end.  It's just a temporary separation.  I've gone almost 15 years without my mother and I miss her every day but I also know that our time together is not over.  I have no doubt about our reunion. 

And if I can undoubtedly believe that I will see those people who have died before me again in heaven, why on earth wouldn't I believe that a move to say Germantown or San Antonio could be the end of a friendship for me?
