This is Max Locato. In May of 2008, Stephen Curtis Chapman and his wife Mary Beth lost their five-year-old in an automobile accident.

They were deluged by messages of kindness. One in particular gave Stephen's strength.

It was from a pastor friend who had lost his son in an auto accident.

Remember, your future with your daughter will be greater than your past with her.

Death seems to take so much.

We bury the wedding that never happened, the golden years we never knew.

We bury dreams.

But in heaven, these dreams will come true.

Acts 321 says that God has promised a restoration of all things, and

all things includes all relationships. Our final home will hear no goodbyes, gone forever.

Let this promise change you, from sagging to seeking, from mournful to hopeful, from dwellers

in the land of goodbyes, to a heaven of hellos.

This is Max Lakato. You'll get through this.
