For whom the bell tolls...


This job often brings such privelege. Its just that in the dross of the everyday its easy to lose sight of the gems.
Today I facilitated a funeral. I say facilitated because my role was insignificant. This lady's family had put together some wonderful tributes, music and prayer. The whole service was infused with such love. Its wonderful when funerals can be a real celebration of the life of a loved one - as was this funeral today. And its good to be allowed to "eavesdrop" on love.
Everyone left the crematorium smiling- that probably says it all. Somehow dying in Eastertide makes the hope of our Christian faith all the more poignant, and the timing was a significance appreciated today.
