Some things are hard to talk about. The death of a loved one is something we have to face. We can rejoice in our memories or in the other extreme.can just feel sorry for ourselves or just shut down and feel nothing. Death gets our attention, forcing families to come together. But, isn't that a good thing? Coming together and loving one another should be what we do in our life . My goodness , thoughts come to me from the Bible, for example Jesus saying some are dead even while living. When Jesus was calling his believers who were to be his disciples. Many made excuses for not following him.
Mat 8:19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
Mat 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Mat 8:21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Mat 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
Last Saturday we had a memorial service for my nephew Jay. He died suddenly of a heart attack leaving behind his wife and elderly mother who they cared for. Although it had been a difficult two weeks, she came to the memorial service at our church and was speaking encouragement and love to us. The grace of God allowed her to be with us that day and we all had such good memories of Jay who was a humble man who had many talents that he shared with us and a sense of humor He is missed.
