Man is but dust...

I've been reminded of the shortness of life this month. There are 12 employees where I work and in the last month, five of us have lost someone. A son, a daughter, a brother, an uncle, a father-in-law.

Granted, they each had serious medical conditions, but still. It brings close one of my deepest fears, losing someone I love.

That Title reaminded me of the song from Kansas: Dust in the wind.
Life is fragile and short but we don't want to hold it too tight because eternity has the potential to be so much better.

sovevuni 's post on Tuesday made me think once again of the continual loss we will be experiencing as we get older.

Loosing someone you love is indescribable and the grief process takes longer than anything else I've ever experienced.

Having said all that, my sister was saved and I know she is with our Lord in heaven and is experiencing everlasting joy. That is where I get my peace. I'm going to be with her and Jesus for all eternity. This life is but a vapor.

That thought also keeps me in the prayer closet, praying for lost sheep in the family. (((hugs)))
