Too sick to talk, too deep in thought to not blog....

Picture with me for a moment....
A Funeral (or visitation), not of someone you necessarily know (or knew) very well, but you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were a Christian and you knew where they were going. Everyone (for the most part) looks like they died themselves, in their dark, dressy clothes. SO you know they were a Christian and it was time for them to die (hate to be morbid, but....). They were in a lot of pain towards the end and they are honestly in a better place where their pain is gone. So why is everyone sad????
Are they honestly morning the dead person?
No, in all honesty, if they really loved the person, they are mourning their life without that person. They miss the person. They want to spend one more day with that person. They honored and respected that person so much, that they are sad at their funeral. The person that looks so dead in the coffin is actually more alive that ever in Christ.
We mourn for ourselves. They mean something to us.
So what does that have to do with anything????

Live your life in such a way that you will be missed and mourned at your funeral, while you rejoice like never before.
