When faith and reality meet

Coming back home from my mini-getaway to Vegas I'm already met with life face to face. When death comes faster day by day, it's when you start re-evaluating life for what it really is. I'm quite saddened by the fact that life doesn't go on forever and that it's but a blink of an eye. And that's when hope in the life after becomes more of a reality than a hopeless faith. To know that being alive in this world is a gift and a blessing from God but at the same time, to hope for the life that comes after is when faith becomes a strong point in ones life. To hope. To have faith. To know Love. I'm sad she only has a few hours to spare. Yet until the end it is a personal decision to make. To either believe or to continue trying to hold on thinking that this life is it. I think that story where one man lives life faithfully yet another comes at the end and collects the same amount of blessings than that other man. It's the same thing once faith is applied. And I think that's such a beautiful thing. That God accepts and redeems the once lost. And chooses to receive us as we receive him. My faith has been strengthened for the day and I could not be more than grateful...
