My Brother In Law's Funeral was Yesterday

[Speculative]

Hi everyone!

I just joined a couple of days ago, and in my introduction, I mentioned that my brother in law had passed away. Some agreed to pray for comfort for the family.

Well, the funeral was yesterday and I wanted to say thanks for the prayers.

The pastor who conducted the service was an Assembly of God Pastor. At the end, he told everyone to make sure that they had a relationship with Jesus

They also had a slide show of my brother in law's life. During this, I started getting choked up. Of course I'm trying to be a big tough man and not cry, but it was hard. I was able to control myself, though.

However, at the very end of the service, they played Amazing Grace. It was a beautiful recording that started out with a single bagpipe, then bagpipes and drums, then it added an organ, then it went back down to just the bagpipes again.

Well, that was it for me. I was like a little baby. I had to get up and go get some tissues. Then I ran into the restroom and had to spend like 10 minutes getting ahold of myself.

Yes, that stuff on my profile is right. I'm a 39 year old grown man, but this service was just such a perfect sendoff to my brother in law, that I was deeply touched.

I just wanted to share that with you all. God Bless

Sometimes the most healthiest thing can be to cry.

Thanks, kopilo. I think you may be right. It just came as a surprise to me because I hardly ever cry. God Bless

Think about it...God put tear ducts in male & female eyes for a reason. There's nothing wrong with crying at appropriate times.
Scripture even talks about God & Jesus crying. If they can cry, why can't we cry?

We shouldn't let society dictate what's appropriate or not on crying.

Jesus wept John 11:35

Thanks, RED that's ME. I really love that beautiful little teardrop with the Rev 21:4 in it. God Bless you

I think my tear ducts needed a little workout that day. I hadn't been using them very much.

Tears help heal. Sorry about your loss but it's heaven's gain I say.

Hey guys, thanks for stopping by

My sister in law and the two daughters are doing well, but are still saddened by my bro-in-law's death. I appreciate your prayers
