An Odd Thought

We all "know" that we are going to die. Today, for some reason, it just hit me that I am not going to be young forever. In fact, someday I will die. My physical body, that I have become so accustomed to, will stop functioning and I will be gone from this world. I know these things are things we all accept, but does it ever really sink in? Does it ever seem real to you? I can't picture anything outside of what I know. I can't imagine ever being out of this body. I really am not afraid. I hope this doesn't sound to macabre. I don't mean it to be. I know that I go to my real home. Maybe death seems unnatural and wrong to us sometimes because we were created to be eternal creatures. I am excited to see what the "other side" looks like. I know it probably isn't anything like what I've been picturing my whole life.

If I think about anything too long, things get weird. Death is a hard thing for me to ponder on too long. Not so much about myself, but for those I love. This is where I rest in the fact that I need to see them on the other side. The things God has planned for us is sooo far beyond my comprehension. Thoughts are funny and come out of nowhere sometime. Some times they are just to ponder on and go about the rest of our day.
