There is a time ...

Two weeks ...
It's been two weeks since my sister, Lyn Colyer, passed away ... moved on to a better place ... whatever you call it, she has died from this life here on earth. And, yes, she's in a better place ... she had found peace with God through Jesus Christ ... and because of that she is promised to be forever at peace, forever filled with joy, forever relaxed, forever carefree, ... it is such a better place.
So ... why is there still this sort of "squishy" spot in my heart that still causes tears? Why are there still some thoughts that pass through my brain that come out my eyes?

"You will .... comfort me once again" [Psalm 71:21a]

"The Lord your God iswith you, He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing." [Zephaniah 3:17]

Ecclesiastes 3:1 - 8
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and time to refrain,
a time to search and time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
