i went to a funeral yesterday. i didn't know her at all. she was a friend's mom. although i wasn't experiencing any personal grief, i witnessed many moments that touched my heart.
a woman entertaining a sweet little infant boy
a son sharing of how his faith in Jesus saved him from a life of drug and alcohol abuse
a pastor tell of this woman's faith and hope in Jesus
a husband wiping the tears from his wife's face
a friend reaching over and hugging another friend
smiles, laughter and tears as family and friends watched a video of their dear loved one
the name of Jesus being repeated over and over
the prompting of the Holy Spirit for me to pray for those in the room who don't know Him
i was especially touched by the soloist who sang "give me Jesus" and "i can only imagine"
i didn't know what to expect walking into the funeral.
i know i didn't expect to be blessed.
