Funerals

Again, today, we attended a funeral. Wade and I have almost been to a funeral every two weeks since the week before Christmas. Some very amazing people we know have been called home. Although funerals are very difficult, with many tears shed for those of us left behind, my thoughts always turn to the spirit that is now free. I want to say, Congratulations. You have served well, done all that was asked, and now are able to return to our Heavenly Father and re-unite with those gone on before. I am grateful for the knowledge that God has a plan for us. That we are not here on earth haphazardly. God created our spirits and we will live on after our mortal death. Our lives did not begin at birth and will not end at death.

It will always be hard when those we love so much return to our heavenly home while we remain here. But, I am grateful for the knowledge that their spirits live on.
