It's Flashback Friday - time for another heritage page from me. Today's challenge was to scrap about our faith. I wasn't sure what photo from my past I could use about my faith. Every time I went through my photos and saw this photo that my Mom took of my Grandma in her casket, I kind of shuddered until I realized that this was the perfect photo to use to demonstrate my faith. Here's my journaling: "At first glance, this photo of my grandma in the casket at her funeral seems very morbid. But, that really is not the case because when my Mom took this photo, she was filled with hope. You see, our faith teaches us that to be "absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." We believe that death does not have to be sad if you have trusted in the Lord as your Savior. It is the beginning of eternity in heaven. While we may be sad that our loved one is no longer with us, we have hope that we will see them again in heaven. It is this strong and enduring faith that has gotten me through so many trials in my life - watching Grandpa die in front of me at age 7, getting through the death of Dad when I was 11, watching Grandma waste away in the hospital until she finally passed on, and even getting me through all of my miscarriages. I knew that Jesus took my 9 babies to Heaven to be with Him for a reason I still do not understand, but I have faith that God has His perfect plan for my life, and I trust Him to do what's best for me because He is my Heavenly Father. It is this strong faith that I have taught you, my children, to believe in. Without Christ, we are of all men most miserable. I would hate to go through this life without faith in Christ. He gives us purpose and the only hope we need." Alicia
