I was privileged to speak at her funeral this week. It is by far, the greatest honor I have received in my twelve years of preaching.
This next week, especially during the holiday season, take time to single out a family member who means something special to you and tell him or her about it. Thank that person for the blessing he or she is to you in your life. For it is in our expressions of love for one another, remember, that we most greatly reveal the character of our God.
I will miss you Nanny, but I know we will see one other again. Death is not a period, but a comma. And so I lay you in the arms of your sweet Jesus, rest well, and I’ll see you on that resurrection morn.
“Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors and their works follow them”—Revelation 14:13.
