Daily rant is not so daily

So I don't get here as often and I thought I would and my random daily is more random then daily.  Anyway, thank God it is Friday. I am on my way to a funeral shortly, and was thinking about how short life is for some and long for others.  My father was 98 years old when he passed.  He really wanted to leave this world as he got older.  He said that he was tired and ready to go, so when he went home to be with the Lord, although I missed him, I was so very happy that he was no longer bound to his earthly body.   Today, my friend's mom is being buried.  She was 91 years old and like me my friend says that her Mom knew when it was her time and was ready to go.

How many of us can truly say that we will be ready to die when it becomes our time?  Certainly, a thought to ponder, hmmm?  I am not afraid of what is to come. I believe God's word and that He has prepared a place to receive those who are trusting in His word.  Oh, well that's where my head and my heart was today.  

2 Corinthians 5: "1For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. ² Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, ³ because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. ⁴ For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. ⁵ Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
⁶ Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. ⁷ For we live by faith, not by sight. ⁸ We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. ⁹ So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.
¹⁰ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."
