MY WIFE DIED LAST NIGHT

MY WIFE DIED LAST NIGHT

Yes, my wife did die last night.  I do not know when 

during the night she passed away.  It could have been

from about six to twelve hours ago.  All I know is that

when I went in to see why she had not gotten up, she

was dead.

The police, the coroner and the funeral home people

have all been here.  So, why am I trying to write 

something to you while I am mourning?  It is because

I feel compelled to share with you the hope that is 

within me and keeps me going today.

You see, my wife knew Jesus Christ personally.  Years

ago she recognized that she was a sinner and headed

for a Devil's hell.  So she invited Jesus Christ to come

into her life and take over.  And in her own way she

had been living for him all these years since.  She was

a different woman.

Consequently I know that she is in heaven with her 

Lord and God right now.  I miss her.  Right now things

hurt bad.  But she is in the arms of Jesus and out of the

suffering she had in her body and the cares of the world.

As old as I am, I cannot live a whole lot longer.  But, 

when my time is ended here on earth I will be joining

her with Jesus Christ.  Then we will be together again

FOREVER.

"And just as each person is destined to die

once and after that comes judgment, so also

Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take

away the sins of many people.  He will come

again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring

salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him."  

(Hebrews 9:27,28. NLT)
