I know you are now with the Lord in glory. I know you are in a better place. In this lies my consolation. I woke up this morning, wishing yesterday was only a long dream; that I did not receive that phone call, that it did not happen, that you did not need to change that light bulb... But I know that the Lord orders the steps of a righteous man. I know that precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saint. I know that being outside of this life is being in the Lord's presence, which is far better. I may not be able to call you again or text you as I regularly do, but I know I have not lost you. Rather, heaven has gained you. In this lies my consolation. We shall meet again and this time, Jesus will be physically present. Rest on my dear brother, thou man of God indeed.
