Today was the funeral of my dear Aunt Reva who was 93 years young. She had a major impact on the family and was guided by her faith in Jesus Christ. She encouraged me to continue my work in ministry. She had me come and pray with her many a time throughout her life. She confided in me secrets to the grave as they say. She told me it was her wish that all her family give their life to Jesus Christ and she prayed for that almost every day of her life.
I consecrated her grave and at the beginning, I was not sure I would get through it but I mustered the willpower because I wanted to follow through with the request. I will miss my Aunt Reva but this is not a final goodbye but only a see you shortly for in time I will visit with her again in Heaven. We will celebrate a good long run on earth and will be praising an eternity with the Holy Trinity, saints, and angels in Paradise. I love you Aunt Reva, enjoy being young and healthy again and having a heavenly family gathering.

Revelation 21The Message (MSG)
Everything New
21 I saw Heaven and earth new-created. Gone the first Heaven, gone the first earth, gone the sea.
2 I saw Holy Jerusalem, new-created, descending resplendent out of Heaven, as ready for God as a bride for her husband.
3-5 I heard a voice thunder from the Throne: “Look! Look! God has moved into the neighborhood, making his home with men and women! They’re his people, he’s their God. He’ll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good—tears gone, crying gone, pain gone—all the first order of things gone.” The Enthroned continued, “Look! I’m making everything new. Write it all down—each word dependable and accurate.”
6-8 Then he said, “It’s happened. I’m A to Z. I’m the Beginning, I’m the Conclusion. From Water-of-Life Well I give freely to the thirsty. Conquerors inherit all this. I’ll be God to them, they’ll be sons and daughters to me. But for the rest—the feckless and faithless, degenerates and murderers, sex peddlers and sorcerers, idolaters and all liars—for them it’s Lake Fire and Brimstone. Second death!”
Prayer: Thank you Heavenly Father, for the faithful Christian example of family members and may we so be one for others, amen.
