Reading – 1 Thessalonians 11-18

Highlight Verse:

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“I hate going to funerals because I’m not a mourning person.” – the joke of the week as found on the wall of a medical examiner’s office.

It’s a subject no one likes to talk about.

But it is a subject that we will each face. Most of us have already faced it within our group of family and friends.

I bring it up because of the sense of humor of the people who worked at the last office I visited yesterday – the medical examiner’s office.

Don’t worry, they were respectful.

It’s just that, in their line of work, they seemed to have learned to value life.

We all want to enjoy life and make a difference while we live it here on Earth.

But this life is but a split second compared to Heaven.

I don’t know what difference we can make in heaven – I’m sure there is some.

But I know I can make a difference here.

So can you.

I say, let’s get to it.

Have you set goals that will help you make a difference in the lives of others?
What is the next thing you are going to do to meet those goals?
