Losing Seth Part 5

At the beginning of the post I mentioned 'redemption.'

There's a lot I've learned from losing Seth.

1). Death is not the worse thing in the world.  We'll see him again in heaven.  Not giving your heart and life to The Lord is the worst thing in the world.

2). Heaven is more real to me.  I read an autobiography about a person who had a personal experience seeing heaven and coming back to life.  They said when they went to heaven, it was like they 'woke up' for the first time.  They felt alive, like they came out of their shell.  Colors were amazing in number and intensity, grass was greener, people were alive there.

3).  'The most important things in life, aren't things' becomes clearer.

4).  Diagramming sentences is less important than cultivating hearts.

5).  I also had numerous personal experiences where God comforted my family.  Vivid, heavenly dreams were shared.  Several people had visions of Seth in Heaven.  And I felt a time of complete peace in a real, palpable way, when I couldn't stand the pain of being without Seth anymore.

6). At the worst time of my life, I felt God completely there.

7). The power of people's prayers helped me.  I realized anew that you can feel the strength from prayers in a real way.

8).  Time on earth is short.  Are we using our time wisely?  Are we glorifying God in all we do?

  1. Hi Lori
    I came across your blog after searching for information on the church in Dunmore East. This is heartbreaking and I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother in a tragic accident and like you, so many people told me afterwards that they believed he was in heaven, which was a great comfort.
    Thank you for coming to Ireland to help out
    God Bless you
    Hugh
