awakening

I attended a funeral today for a young man whose mother is my friend.  I had the privilege of coordinating the funeral mass.  Fr. spoke about us awakening in our new life after death.  I find that thought so encouraging.  He spoke about no one knowing what happens after we die but our faith begs us to believe we will be with God.  That we will live again.  So, the awakening is so very appropriate to what we can look forward to.  I hope to awaken on the other side in a new wonderful place.
