Dear Church Family,
People often say “It will get better” to comfort someone going through tough times. Another phrase I remember hearing growing up was “This too shall pass.” Yet while tomorrow might bring relief, it could also bring new challenges. Here on earth, there’s no guarantee of improvement. However, the life to come offers more than just improvement—it promises perfection!
Since the seventh century, Christians have celebrated All Saints’ Day to honor those who have passed away trusting in Christ and now experience the perfect joy of heaven. We thank God for delivering our loved ones from the hardships of this world into eternal bliss and glory. We also pray for strength in our own faith in life, so we too may join the saints in a place where life is not just better, but perfect.
