Yesterday's Funeral

We laid to rest a 98 year old woman who was a devout Christian lady who lived a good life. She raised 5 children most of their lives when she became a widom & set the standard for moms everywhere. These funerals are as easy as they get as far as emotions (though I've never officiated or attended an "easy funeral") because she was prepared to die. I am thankful for such a privilege to be the one responsible for the services of saying goodbye & remembering someone's life.

I was reminded yesterday again of how fragile life really is. Lillian lived 98 great years, which seems like a long time for human life on earth. But in reality those 98 years are only a speck of time in scope of the eternity we look forward too after life on earth. May we never forget to treasure each moment & each day as a gift from God & to live in such a way so we are prepared for life after death.
