Family Reflection Video: As We Journey to Heaven

strength and hope

Earthly death is real, but so is Jesus’ eternal promise.

Our course of life is uncertain in terms of the number of days on this earth, but what Jesus teaches us is that He is here to walk with us and our family and friends. He reminds us that if we feel weak or uncertain along the way, we are better able to receive the mercy, grace and love that God wants to share with us.

Take some time today to reflect on where you are going. How is God already guiding and strengthening you and your family? What it is that He is calling you to share with your loved ones that can bring His presence to whatever they are dealing with today?

May God bless you all.
