Eternal?

Went to a funeral today...probably the most thorough process I ever had in my whole life....with the dead being someone I don't even know anything a about....quite ironic, right. I was watching the whole thing, and thought death is probably the best thing that God has given us creatures that live on this planet.

Once you are dead...you worry no more, suffer no more, being sick no more, being annoyed no more....and basically you are just out of the crappy world all together. Problems are only left for those who are still alive, and the dead can enjoy something eternal.

Right...there is eternal suffering too....well...at least it's something eternal.....better than working on whole bunch of stuff in this world at the end turns out to be of no importance at all. You either have eternal peace and rest or eternal suffering when you die....but at least you are dead so you know the answer and there is no more struggling...you just accept what you have at that point....pretty good deal I think....

For sure to live is Christ and to die is gain... for Christian, whether we live or we die, it's a win win situation! :) However, please do not be duped by the enemy. It's not that we are better off dead, it is because after we die, we can finally meet Christ. Christ can be with us both while we're living and even after we die... in order for it to be a win win situation, we have to simply do it in Christ.

Further, in this world, we can learn to accept what we have at this point too... and not only that, hopefully we can make it better too. And first step to make it better is to trust in God, not the serpent. Eve was trying to make it better..., but too bad she trusted in the serpent. So we should try to avoid that mistake.

And regarding my grand aunt, you'll have plenty of time to get to know her better later on, for now, you can see her spiritually live on thru me and my other family members. Also, I'm sure she'd be happy to see me finally married... and for sure very honored to have you play violin at her funeral! :)
