God designed our bodies to die. When that happens, He wants us to return home to Him. He desires that we have joy in this life as we work toward that eventual reunion. His plan for our life also requires that we experience trials for growth. There is purpose to the trials we endure between our birth and death dates, but sometimes we let them get in the way of our joy. Regardless of life's difficulties or death's timing, spiritual understanding regarding both is a blessing. In this book, the author's love of the scriptures, coupled with insights learned as a hospice nurse, combine in a Christ-centered contemplation regarding these juxtaposing mortal conditions. Living lives of considered purpose because of Christ will bless us here and now, while preparing us for life after death. Experiencing the fullness of God's love for us, manifest in His Son's gift of redeeming grace, brings about the joy and peace He means for us to have, even in the face of trials.
