Ecclesiastes Day 15 Quote

A few distressing months and many depressing nights later, my dad’s death is slowly making sense. I no longer view death as something sinister or a punishment—instead, it is the product of a sinful world. Although there is grieving, there is also glory.

And as I try to live more intentionally with this eternal perspective in mind, it helps me let go of the things of this earth that I often hold too tightly, and focus on finding ways to give myself and the time I have fully to the work of the Lord, knowing that the work we do in Him will never be in vain.
