My streak of having never gone shopping on Black Friday is intact. I visited my friend Todd to watch football and even though our team lost, it was much better to spend time with him than to do the insane thing of shopping on Black Friday.
More importantly, after the game we had a good conversation. We talked about what the bible says about what happens for those who pass away that believe in Jesus.
2nd Corinthians 5:8 says:
We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
In the instance that a believer passes away, our souls/spirits enter into heaven. Then one day in the future, our bodies will be resurrected into glorified bodies. That is the great hope for all who believe in Jesus.
After we prayed, I came home to eat and relax. Though it was a day of grieving for my friend, it was a good day, much better than wasting time shopping. The reason I say good is because even in the midst of grief, we focused on Jesus.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
