Goodbyes...
I never like them. I pretty much stink at them. Goodbyes are hard to say and they always seem to come out wrong. But I guess goodbyes are part of life aren't they? When I say goodbye I never say what I really want to say, I freeze. Then when the person or people leave I know then what I wanted to say. So frustrating sometimes. Oh well, that's what happens when you move far away. Last night when I was thinking about goodbyes and how I really don't like them, I also was thinking that for Christians saying goodbye doesn't mean forever. Cause one day we will be with each other in heaven if we have commited our lives to the Lord and believe in Him. That is a wonderful thing and a very comforting thought. So as I get ready to say more goodbyes tonight my comfort is that this will not be forever. God is good!

Yeah...good-byes stink. In my younger years (yes admit I'm old...er than most of you reading this!)I didn't say good-bye I would just disappear. I don't recommend that as a solution...might loose friends that way. When I came to my senses (some might call it maturity) instead of just falling off the face of the earth I decided to say "so long" or "see you later". Somehow that took the finality out of the way good-bye sounds. And as has been pointed out....there is really never a final good-bye for fellow believers! Praise God!
