So I have been thinking about the Joy and Sadness of a last goodbye. In retrospect with mom there is little Joy as yesterday was most likely the last day I will ever see her hear on earth or in heaven since she is not a believer in Jesus Christ (says she is an atheist) and is dying from a brain tumor. She has an up beat attitude and that is good but believes when she dies that is it she is dead and nothing else happens.
The Bible is Truth, God's Word. All that come to him shall be saved, those who do not will be lost. Eternity in Heaven or Eternity in Hell! That is the choice for an after life but there is more to it. For mom that is the choice but for most of use that will be around for years it is a choice to follow Christ and have Joy in our lives or not to follow Him and have sadness in our lives (no hope). Following Christ does not mean it will be all love, joy and peace but rather that following Jesus means you have Hope and because you have hope you have peace and joy no matter what is going on around you or to you.
Jesus said "Follow Me!" The choice is really quite simple, believe and follow or don't believe.
