Hope Amid Sorrow

A friend and colleague of mine lost her husband this week. For the funeral this morning, she and her family chose a beautiful passage from the Gospel of John. Here is a portion of that reading (John 14:1-3):

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you.
I am going to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
