Jason........forever in my heart

On August 13, 2008, my son Jason left his earthly home and went to his eternal home with Jesus. It was the most difficult day of my life. There are some experiences that defy description, some places of sorrow that words could simply never describe...... Jason's death was that place for me. Yet a year later I can say with complete confidence that Jason is not dead, he is singing and dancing and rejoicing in a land free of sorrow and he is more alive than he ever was before. I still miss Jason. Tears still stream down my face when I see his picture or hear his voice on a recording. Nevertheless, if I could will him back to this place, I would not do so. I am convinced that our eternal home is so far beyond anything that we can imagine that I find great peace and joy in knowing that Jason is there and I look with great anticipation to that time when I shall be reunited with him . The past year has taught me much about faith and love and hope. It is my prayer that God will use Jason's death for His glory even more than he used Jason's life. This was Jason's prayer too, and I know that God heard him and is answering it in ways I will never know. So until that day when I too will rest in the everlasting arms of Jesus, I will keep my eyes on the cross and wait for the day when God will wipe away all the tears from our eyes....oh what a glorious day that will be.
