Welcome!
The third American President , William Mckinley, was assassinated. But he lived for several days after he was shot, and towards the end , his wife started crying and screaming, "I want to go too!" And with his last measure of strength, Mckingley turned to here and spoke his last words: "We are all going". And with that he took his last breath and departed the planet earth. What vision to a blind woman! Sending out words of inspiration and comfort.

Does this word"We all are going" ring bells to your being? As for me the sounds of the bells penetrate into my soul. This world is like a market...we all came to the market....when you are done with yours...you leave but bear this in mind that all of us are going it doesn't matter what your status are; economic, political, social. No matter what your challenges may be...despite that delay, stagnation, limitation etc..you may encounter here...know that we all are going. No matter your status maritally; whether married or unmarried. It does matter if you have a children or not..always remember that...We all are going.
I shed tears when i read the lines of Helen Keller a lady that refuse the circumstances surrounding her to belittle nor reduce her. She is a poet widely celebrated though she is blind. She said and I quote:
Death is no more than passing from one room i to another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.
Can you assimilate that? She may is born blind but she believed and trust her maker, she believed the one that knoweth the end from the beginning that in her next world, in that next room, she would see. what a great vision to a blind woman! Sending out an inspiration and comfort to us all. Let hear what Elisabeth Kubler-Ross has to say:
It is not the end of the physical body that worry that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we see still alive to release our inner self selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform and also to external definitions of who and what we are .
The message she's trying to pass across is for us not transform to who we are not really are. Imitation is limitation..don't try to copy anybody because everyone else has been taken, you are wonderfully, delicately and beautifully made. Don't make the mistake of forfiting your salvation for earthly pursuit. Nothing is more painful than missing heaven. Our heart felt prayer should be to make heaven. Late Steve Jobs have this to say:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is how it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life's changing agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Death is the only debt all have to pay. But we will not die untimely. Prepare yourself at all times. He will come like a thieve. Remember your first love which is your maker,make peace with Him. Cut off anything that will stand as an opposition on your way.
Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress or persecution or famine , or nakedness, or perils or sword?
For it is written: "for your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter".
Yet in all this things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Romans 8:35-38
