Funerals

We went to my Sister-In-Law’s Grandfather’s funeral yesterday. Never really met the guy, but from the words passed along he sounded like a neat man.

I actually enjoy going to funerals. I know that’s kind of weird to say. It’s not a fun thing to do, but it is a tribute to one’s life. It’s always a good reminder of what is really worth living for. It sets reality into motion that I too, by God’s grace, will grow up old one day and leave this earth. Am I going to pursue selfish desires or am I going to pursue Christ and love others?

Watching the stories being told and shared always helps me make the right decision. Life is empty if it’s not about serving and loving others.
