Tomorrow morning is the funeral of someone in my Church. She passed away Sunday…after I found out, I wrote this:
A woman in my church passed away today. She has been fighting cancer for the better part of the past 2 years and lost the battle somewhat suddenly. When they announced it tonight I think most were surprised, some were heartbroken, but I think beyond that there was a little bit of joy and peace in all of us. Her struggle was finally over, there was no more pain, no hurting, and she was finally at rest. Her husband was there tonight…I couldn’t believe it honestly…but I think it was a testiment to what God has done in their family…and I think he knows that it’s what she would have wanted.
Tomorrow I’m playing in the band at her funeral. It was her request that there be praise music sung…I was surprised to find that the music is very upbeat. Which just confirmed with me that she was at peace about her life ending…and she wanted us to have that peace and reassurance as well. So while it may be a time of mourning and reflection here on Earth, she is celebrating her new eternal life in Heaven. Hopefully we can share just a few minutes of that celebration with her tomorrow.
