Bobbi, my wife found this on the internet and shared it with me. It is so simple yet powerful as we all have questions about the afterlife.
A SICK MAN TURNED TO HIS DOCTOR AS HE WAS PREPARING TO LEAVE THE EXAMINATION ROOM
AND SAID, “DOCTOR, I AM AFRAID TO DIE. TELL
ME WHAT LIES ON THE OTHER SIDE.”
VERY QUEITLY THE DOCTOR SAID, “I DON’T KNOW….”
“YOU DON’T KNOW? YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN MAN,
AND DON’T KNOW WHAT’S ON THE OTHER SIDE?”
THE DOCTOR WAS HOLDING THE HANDLE OF THE DOOR; ON THE OTHER SIDE CAME A SOUND OF SCRATHING AMD WHINING, AND AS HE OPENED THE DOOR, A DOG SPRANG INTO THE ROOM AND LEAPED ON HIM WITH AN EAGER SHOW OF GLADNESS.
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 NOTHING EXCEPT 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.”
My hope is this story is meaningful for you as you contemplate your future. It reinforced my faith!
