Today I went to visit Grandpa's ashes. While this is a very sentimental thing to do, it was very powerful because we read a poem on another lady's ashes.
Unfortunately I can't translate poems and keep them poems, so I'll give you a very rough translation of it!
It read.
Don't come here with sorrow.
Don't look for me here, as I am not here.
I am now with the Lord in heaven.
If you want to meet me someday, become a Christian.
Then we will see each other when you finally pass away.
Something about this poem is just so simply beautiful. :)
I agree with the poem. I do not feel any sadness when people die because there is no avoiding death. Death is merely a result given to you at birth. Regardless of whether the person is christian or not, he died as planned. If a person was destined to become a christian then they will not die until they become one... but those that aren't then there is nothing you can do for them.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, I guess we'll meet all sorts of great people one day when we meet our maker too.
