We attended the funeral of a family member this week. Since it’s not my place to blog about specifics, suffice it to say that it was an excellent service. We have been praying for the family during this grieving period. The passing of a life is always difficult, but also is an important time for the rest of us to reflect on the impact that person made, as well as take a personal inventory of our own impact on others and the world around us. Money, accolades, etc. How much of it really matters in the end? How did you treat other people? Did you have a relationship with God and were you always striving to improve? Did you try to help others along your journey? Those are the things that really matter in the end. While funerals are usually difficult for all involved, it’s also a great opportunity to take stock in the things that really matter. And hug family members… you know, the rest of us left behind.
Also, my younger sister Iris sang a great rendition of “How Great Thou Art” during the service. I’m glad she’s willing to share her talent with us. She can hit certain notes that are unique to her talent. Well done, sis.
