His Funeral

Tweet

I would love to hear your experiences or opinions after I share my little story. Some mylotters already know my Papaw died a week ago last Sunday. He had been in so much pain, and although many of you don't believe in the place, I know that my Papaw is in Heaven. He didn't just talk the Christian talk, he walked the walk. There was no one he wouldn't help, no one he wouldn't show compassion to. He wasn't perfect of course. But he really lived his life trying to follow in the footsteps of Christ's example. Which none of us can perfect, . His funeral was heart wrenching for my family, but uplifting as well. It was something I wish I could put into accurate words. Yesterday morning my cousin Sharla died. She had fought breast cancer for four years. She leaves behind her husband and two sons, 7 and 4. Her younger son asked his brother where his mom was going. He said with no hesitation that she was going to Heaven. The younger brother asked if they could go too. And his brother said, no, not yet. They will miss her, but I am so glad they have such a big support system. I didn't start this discussion so someone could ask me how God could take a young mother. This isn't meant to be a spiritual showdown. Besides, I'm not God and don't have answers. But I was just wondering if you would share your own experiences. Were most of the funerals you have attended just sorrowful? Or was there an underlying feeling of peace that came with the sorrow. When was the last funeral you attended?
