Maybe it’s the result of being fortunate enough to live a fairly lengthy life, but with that blessing comes the reality of seeing those you’ve loved, cared for and shared memories with pass from this life. However, there is joy in knowing so many of them are delighting in Heaven’s glory. In James 4:14, the Bible reminds us that “life is like a vapor that appears for a little time and vanishes.” My mom once told me she thought old age would come; she just didn’t realize it would get there that fast.
