DEATH QUOTES

You are running out of time if you are wasting time each minute that could make a difference in your life.
Each minute can make a difference in your life.
The grave is a lonely place, enjoy all you need to today.
What a waste to value the body, you are a soul living in a body. Do not be conformed to your bodily desires. Your body is dust that will return to dust.
Tomorrow, your grave will be dug, have you emptied all you planned to do in your mind.
The greatest gift you can give yourself is eternal life through salvation in the belief of Jesus Christ.
What will the people sitted around you right now remember you for when you are no more?
"If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.""If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. " - Steve Jobs
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. " - Steve Jobs

Weeping will end

Weeping is part of the process we go through while healing and recuperating from the loss of a loved one.  It is very normal and very useful as we become whole again.
This is the journey that God pre-destined for us, once to be born and again to die. "Hebrews 9 7 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. "
 However there is very good news to share from the word of God. If we believe in God and are born again, then death will be no more. Hallelujah. "Isaiah 43 18 “Forget the former things;
   do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
   Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
   and streams in the wasteland."
And then we see our final calling from God which is " Revelation 213 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
 5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
 6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Loss Of A Child - Peyton Lucille Busingye Ayebare

Loss of a child
Losing a child is one of the most traumatizing experiences that any parent should ever go through.
I have always believed that one of the greatest blessings any parent can ever have is to live a full life and have children outlive him so that they can burry him. This is the way most parents would want things to be. I had to face reality in a different way last December 2011 when i lost my beloved 3 week old daughter to duodenal atresia. I must say that this really was a trying time for me. The pain comes through the memories of the months she lived in the womb and all the plans we had for her. It is these memories that invoke unbearable hurting, stress and coldness. However, I believe that God is really a faithful God and does things for a purpose. God can not allow you go through something in which his grace is not sufficient enough to help you sail through. I have learnt that death is not only for the old but also for the young and actually is there for every one. At any one time it can come knocking at your door. It is something funny to realize how much we fear death. I found it funny when someone shared with me that even the christians that believe in God fear to die to go to heaven yet this is the only way to meet him. People do talk about how it is good to live everyday as your last but we never do. The value of life becomes apparent in the face of death. It is when you meet people involved in accidents, people in hospitals, people in war torn areas that you realise how precious life really is. If there is anything you need to value, then value the preciousness of life. What are you going to do with your life? This is a jewel you need to embrace and use fervently. Live in peace, love your neighbors, love and trust God. As you cherish life, hold on to what is eternal and that is the everlasting life offered by Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins. Accept and confess him as your saviour. Meditate on the word of the Lord daily so that you will be able to stand strong when the storms come. It is the peace of love through God that will wipe away all the tears you have in such moments. God is an ever present help in times of trouble and a strong refuge for those that are righteous and believe in him. Behold all things will always work together for good for those who love and serve the Lord and are called by his purpose. The more i share about death, the more the conviction of the abundance love of God grows stronger. If we die in him, so shall we resurrect in him. I wrote this to share with those that have suffered the loss of a loved one to encourage you to be strong. God is still there and he cares. He lets the rains fall on both the good and the bad. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Let us rejoice in the Lord always and in the power of his might. Be blessed.
