Funerals and Weddings

by

Funerals and Weddings, the family meeting and reunion places.
At least for my family.
In the last week we have been to a friends funeral, and a family members wedding.
I decided that I really do prefer weddings over funerals.
The groom was my Uncle, someone we all thought would NEVER get married.
SURPRISE!!
They seem to be very happy together, and all I could think of when I was watching the ceremony, was how happy my grandmother would be. I know she was always concerned for her sons to not be alone. She wanted them to have someone to spend their lives with, someone to love and to be loved by.
She wanted all seven of her children to be taken care of.
Now all but one are married, and I don’t think that one ever will marry….but I could be wrong…right?
Only God knows.
Grandma is with the Lord now, and I am sure He gave her a window to look through so she could witness one of her prayers being answered.
The Bible tells us we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. I believe that includes those who have loved us and are now with the Lord in heaven.
Yes, I believe heaven is a real place where people really go when they die… if they have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
God wants us all to be with Him, that is why He sent Jesus.
(John 3:16)
Weddings, celebrations of love, are wonderful. Knowing you are loved and being able to love in return- there is nothing like it.
