No Longer Troubled

Dear friends in Christ, it is with mixed emotions that we bid farewell to our sister Nadine. I say mixed because there is, on the on hand, a great grief that comes from losing a grandmother, mother, friend, and neighbor. But there is also relief, because the suffering she endured in this fallen body has come to an end, and Christ has brought her safely through death.  I think it fair to say that in such moments in life, the heart is troubled. Troubled by loss. Troubled by things left unsaid. Troubled by conflicted feelings.

“Let not your hearts be troubled,” says our Lord Jesus.
