While we are on the subject, did you know...
Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?"
What do we believe? We bring joy to others by giving them the assurance of eternal life after their death. We find joy on earth through this assurance of an eternal relationship with our Creator. However, we only actually experience this true joy when we leave this world.
As Benjamin Frankin once said:
Fear not death, for the sooner we die the longer we shall be immortal.
And as William Penn so correctly pointed out:
For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
Let's look forward to the day where we will be risen up in new bodies. As Kahil Gibran once said:
For what is it to die, But to stand in the sun and melt into the wind? And when the Earth has claimed our limbs, Then we shall truly dance.
