The word for the day - grateful.
As a pastor, one of the most humbling opportunities I have is giving a message at a funeral. To speak briefly about someone’s life and the hope and assurance we have through Jesus Christ is a huge honor. I try to spend time with family and friends following a death and hear the things that are uppermost on their minds - the memories that perhaps mean the most to them. Then I try to use those in helping craft a message. I am grateful for being taught that practice, and believe it has brought meaning to many a service.
For now, I say rest in peace, dear lady, and may your family and friends know deeply of God's presence with you in this time.
Blessings.
