Today is All Saint’s Day. It’s a day to honor the dead and I have been thinking a lot about what that really means lately. I’ve come to realize that whatever happens when we die isn’t as important as the legacy that we leave behind. Not a legacy of knowledge, power or fortune, but the legacy of God’s love. It is through His love that we truly do find live everlasting because that love doesn’t ever die. I am starting to think that maybe a day like today is one of the most important days of the year because it gives us time to stop and reflect on all the souls that came before us and the love that they left in this world.
I don’t know what happens when we die. God won’t share that part of His plan with me and that’s okay. All I want to know is that there’s something worth living for. Even if life is just one great big dream, I’d like to believe that my life isn’t in vain. My faith tells me it isn’t. My faith tells me that God’s love is the answer to all my questions if I will just open my heart and my eyes. It is all around me, surrounding me, from the beginning of time until this very moment. I am connected to all my brothers and sisters in Christ.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
