Blessed are the Saints Who Die in the Lord by Alfred Shannon Jr.

As humans, often we rejoice at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons. We rejoice at the birth of a child, and mourn at their death, when it should be the other way around. In the same manner, we should be very pleased that someone is baptized into Christ, but our rejoicing should come when they die in the Lord. Baptism is the easy part, but the hard part is remaining faithful till death. Remember, many are called (Baptized), but few are chosen.
