A beautiful example of faith through grief

At The Well-Trained Mind forum, Cindy in C-ville comforted me with her friend's thoughts after he lost his little boy:
"He said that his understanding of the kingdom of God has expanded exponentially. Now, it's not like heaven is some far away place. For him, his little boy is in another room. They're both in the house, and in a way he can see through to it at times. Boy, does he long to be there with his sweet boy, but he knows he will be someday. For now, he wants to live in light of the reality of the kingdom - here and now, every moment for eternity - knowing that one day the fullness of the 'house' will be by sight, not only by faith."
