After Liz’s passing, I was quite often asked, “How in the world did you get through that?” That is a fair question for a non-believer to ask. But for a believer in Christ, the answer is clear.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14, “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep.”
Quite simply it was our faith in Christ that got us through the most difficult time in both our lives.
Liz had a very strong, deep faith and she was not afraid. She knew where she was going. And we both held steadfast in our faith trusting God’s promises including His “red letter” words He spoke to Martha in the Book of John, Chapter 11. . .
“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?
The two of us held strong to that promise with a resounding YES! We believe!
That is how I am able to carry on. . . the hope I have in Christ and His promises, pure and simple.
Attached you will see a sticky note Liz wrote to keep her head and heart in the game. She kept this posted on her computer at work, always in front of her, always to remind her. It’s a simple, basic, easy to follow guideline for all of us to lean into and live by.
1 Thessalonians 4:18, “Therefore encourage one another with these words.”
