On December 8, we said goodbye to Dorothy. Painful for us. Peaceful for her. The joy and peace she is experiencing with Jesus seeps into our hearts. Still, we miss her so.
"Death is the Gate of Life.
"There is deep insight in those old words. For man's natural thought of death is that of a dreary ending in decay and dissolution. And from his standpoint he is right: death as the punishment of sin is an ending.
"But far other is God's thought in the redemption of the world. He takes the very thing that came in with the curse, and makes it the path of glory. Death becomes a beginning instead of an ending, for it becomes the means of liberating a fresh life."
- I. Lilias Trotter, Parables of the Cross
