Grieving
But we do not want you to uniformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope...
The delightful woman who supports the Fairmont VBS ministry died this morning, and we are very sad. Such a hard thing - NOT the way it's supposed to be! (See my prior post.) I was googling the reference for this verse, and stumbled on another blog entry about grief. The author recalled the phrase "bread and butter" - in the show Monk, these are Monk's wife Trudy's last words to her husband. Monk explains that when he and his wife were walking together and they had to separate hands, she would say "bread and butter" - i.e., just splitting for a moment, we'll be together again soon.
So...bread and butter, Carol. "For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep."
