I never know a friend lost her mother 2 months ago. I only heard he was sick so I asked to know how he was feeling and he told me he was getting better till Monday this week when the announcement of his mother burial was made and I was like shoo, eweooo, I never knew what he was passing through. I went to him and said, now I know why you were so sick, he smiled and said hmmmmm. He immediately directed me where the burial will take place.
My day today started with calls on business and family members. After that I went to field service and from there to the burial. The burial discuss was a reminder to all the living to do all that their hands find to do now that we are alive because there is no knowledge, power, wisdom in the grave where the dead are buried.
The big question is, is this life all there is?, what is that hope that helps us to continue doing good things, forgive one another even when we know that one day, we will be no more. In the burial discuss, John 5:28&29 was read and explained , that a day will come, when all those in God's memorial tombs will rise and come back to life. It was a painful situation though,but this hope of resurrection will help the husband and the children to continue enduring.
After she was laid down in the grave, I reached out to the husband, children and comforted them. I went home to rest and meditate on things I heard. It was after that I ate, and start making this post to cool my head.
Lastly, I want use this opportunity to wish you all happy weekend.
