thoughts on weeping...

Myra Faye was very peaceful and relaxed Thursday evening.  I thought of the tears her family and friends have shed and will yet shed.  I feel that tears are on this side of the next existence.  Tears are of this world.  We cry for those we won't have association with.  for those we love and care about.  that is the price we pay for love.  it's sad for us when we are separated but worth the price of loving.  We are told to love to the point that we do weep when they leave us.

Thou shalt live together in love, insomuch that thou shalt weep for the loss of them that die....
Doc.&Cov. 42:45

Question:  IF Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting then our death is an awakening and  a remembering????  I think so.



QUOTATION:Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The soul that rises with us, our life’s star,
    Hath had elsewhere its setting,
      And cometh from afar.
    Not in entire forgetfulness,
    And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory, do we come
    From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy.
