On the Other Side

There’s a story about a sick man who turned to his doctor and said, “Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.” Very quietly, the doctor said, “I don’t know.” The man replied, “You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?”
The doctor had his hand on the doorknob. From the other side, came the sound of scratching and whining. As he opened it, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an unbridled show of sheer joy.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said, “Did you notice my dog? He’s never been in this room before. He didn’t know what was inside. He knew only that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing… I know my Master is there and that is enough.”
Let us pray: God of Hope, in life and death we belong to you. Help us to trust you completely so that we are free to live life to its fullest today. There is so much that we don’t know. But, we do know that you hold the future and that you hold us. Amen.
