Revised
Folding and putting away clothes of departed loved ones is hard.
So is putting away their jewellery , mulling on what to do with their tooth brush or face towel.
Choosing a head stone to replace the rotten cross over a grave and having a silent service alone isn't easy .
The pain doesn't last only until the funeral ceremony
or when the clothes are dispatched
or when the estate matters are resolved.
The pain can last years and years after. Never undermine the reality and depth a bereaved person is going through.
I never wish anyone death nor it's sting but it is inevitable as lifes journey.
Will we have loved the best we could have when their time or our time is called?
Will we have been good stewards of our gifts?
Would we have shared the love of Christ for the world to the world?
Lord teach us to number our days .
May we live each day fully to your glory
May we live abundantly each day as you've promised us
Live healed and restored
Forgiving and forgiven
May we seek you and know you so that when we meet You face to face, You will say well done my good and faithful servant.
May we leave our loved ones to mourn with hope. That they are courageous and equipped to continue; that they will say we finished the race well.
Pass on the baton confidently
