Funeral
I’ve been to several funerals in my life. Some of which, I’ve sat through and thought, “Let’s just finish the service…we’ve dragged this on long enough.”
I’ve come to the end of other funerals and thought, “No! We need to make this last longer. I’m just not ready to say my last ‘Goodbyes.'”
Today’s service for Jaron was one of those funerals. I didn’t want it to end. It all became too final for me.
Of course, the service oozed with hope. I know we share the hope in the resurrection. I know my brother and sister-in-law will see their son again. I know I long to be in the same arms that now hold Jaron. I know all that and I look forward to that.
It was still hard to say goodbye for the last time as a group.
It’s amazing that such a short life could have such an eternal impact on so many people. God has truly worked in mysterious ways. He continues to work that way.
