The last funeral; resurrection

The Last Funeral

Posted on April 11, 2022April 6, 2022 by James Williams

As I walk into the funeral,
There’s no sadness, grief or tears,
But faces full of wonder,
No more plagued by fears.

No flowers for the family,
Not a wailing soul in sight.
The clothes weren’t black or mournful,
But bright garments of white.

No one weighed down by their sorrow,
Or grief too strong to bear.
I hear laughter and celebration,
There’s excitement in the air.

I thought this a strange occurrence,
Who is this funeral for?
It’s the only one I’ve been to,
Where weeping is no more.

I approach the funeral director,
“Who’s in the casket ma’am?”
She said his name was Death,
He had been slain by the Lamb.

Thinning the Peaches

If you don’t trim many peaches off the tree, the resulting fruit will be small and tasteless. Likewise, we have to be careful not to overload our busy schedules which leads to stunted results.
