Quick Little Prayer for a loved one
I'm sitting over here at Kay, James, Dave, Paul and John's house waiting for Paul and John to get back from wally world so I thought I would waste a little time. Everyone else is already in bed so it's a little weird right now, but it's cool I guess cause they should be back any minute.
Missed school again today but I really don't care this time. I was wanting to get there to get my keys but my friends come first.
Dave's mom's funeral was very nice. There were a lot of people there and it was nice that Dave got to see people that he hadn't seen in almost 10 to 20 years. The sermon was very nice. I left the funeral home feeling very comforted and relaxed and at peace. The whole thing was about going home to be with our God, and how he is the shepard that watches over us for our short time on this earth. There was a lot about how we are the unfortunate ones in that Peggy (Dave's mom) gets to go the kingdom now, while we are left behind, still waiting for our turn.
Is it weird that I felt good leaving a funeral??
No I don't think so. This is the kind of funeral that I want when I pass on. Instead of a mourning of death, it was a celebration of life. A great life. That will be missed but is in a much better place, no longer in pain or suffering.
I just want to say a really quick prayer before I get off here, I said it at the funeral but would like to say it again in hopes that others will read it and say a good thing or two themselves.
Thank you so much dear Lord for the amazing person that Peggy was. I never got the chance to meet her, but as your precious child I know that she will be loved forever. Thank you for giving her the chance to raise three amazing sons. They will go on to celebrate her life and remember her as the loving mother she was.
Thank you for being so gracious with us and allowing us this short time on earth, your beautiful creation. May Peggy find the peace that only you can give her and may she rest always in the folds of your robes, finding everything her heart desires.
amen.
man I gotta figure out something to give up for Lent.
