The other side

"Today thou shall be with me in paradise." Luke 23:43

"To the brotherhood of the bereaved, to which I belong."
We see death only from a human point of view. Jesus, however, has been on the other side of the grave and all that He has said about death contradicts the traditional ideas of philosophers. Man think that death is great darkness but, having Christ it's something to look forward to. We speak of death as a departure; heaven sees it as an arrival. We call death a hooded spectre; heaven sees it as an angel of light. We call it separation; heaven calls it reunion. We call it the grave; heaven calls it the gateway. We say goodbye here, but it is "Good morning " there. The sun set here, but for a Christian, death is indeed "sunrise with Jesus for eternity."
I love what Dwight L Moody says
When you see the headlines that I'm dead, don't believe it! I'll be alive as never before. In order to experience this you must be born again. Make Jesus the Lord of your life. We all gonna die some day. The question is, Where will you spend eternity? God loves u.

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid-back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Many people will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store or company.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work-life balance.

You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend...

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed.

It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives.

Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

And know that 2022 prices are not 2023 prices.

I copied this from another small business owner that I support!

Please support small business!

Every minute someone leaves this world behind.
We're all in "the queue" without knowing it.
We will never know how many people are ahead of us.
We can't move to the bottom of the row.
We can't get out of line.
We can't avoid the queue.
So while we wait in line.
Make the moments count!
Make priorities.
Make the time.
Let your qualities be known.
Make people feel important.
Make your voice heard.
Make big things out of small things.
Make someone smile.
Make the change.
Make love.
Make Peace.
Get it together.
Make sure you tell your people you love them.
Make sure you have no regrets.
Make sure you're ready.
Very true.
Live life and let live, enjoy, be grateful,
don't waste time arguing,
fighting in doing bad things life is short,
live it,
be humble,
love yourself and be happy with what you have.

Have an awesome life.

Something I came to Realize...

DON'T DIE WITH YOUR DEAD.

Did you know that when you cry for your dead, you cry for you and not them?
You cry because you “lost them”, because you don’t HAVE THEM by your side. You think it all ends in death. And you think they are NOT anymore.

So if your dead are gone, where are they?

Yes they have left, or they are now in another place. Is that place better than this?
Yes, definitely that place is better than this; so Why do you suffer for their departure?
When you have finished accepting that they are no longer "NOT here", but they are still in another place even better than this, for they're where they are no longer sick, or suffering.
Then you'll stop mourning them and you'll get them back in memory so they keep accompanying you with the joy of all that you've lived.

If you truly loved them LOVE them AGAIN and this time with greater strength, with greater purity, with greater delivery.
Today, there will be no more reproach of any kind.
Only LOVE, will be the essence between you, between us, between them.

I respect your pain, and the way you express it. I know you cry and you will cry without comfort.
But .. Today I say to you:
Don't die with your dead.

Remember we are only seeing one side of the coin.
We are not looking the other way; we are not seeing the wonderful place of light where they stand.

What if we start seeing “death” as a Second Birth?
Second Birth we ALL will go through.

Don't die with your dead, honor them by living your life as they would have wanted you to, let them transcend. And you keep living. 🌹
