I lost a lot of family as a child so I spent a lot of time at viewings (or wakes) and funerals. I also spent a lot of time in hospitals visiting many of them.
Something that has always helped me was instead of thinking of them resting in peace, I always think of them basking in His glory. I know if I were to die today and find myself in Heaven I wouldn't be doing much resting.
LOL, I agree. I'm sure she's already mastered the art of flying with the angels. My granddaughter told me tonight, as I was walking her home, that she thinks all the stars are people in Heaven, and now there is one more. Some believe we go to sleep until the resurrection, but the Word tells us "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". I don't believe God makes us wait when our Hope is in Heaven. She served the Lord all her earthly life - I know she's already joined all the saints in Heaven in worshipping the great I AM!
I'm truly sorry for your loss.
