THE WRONG FUNERAL!!

THE WRONG FUNERALGod doesn't make mistakes. He puts us where we are to be!They say there are no mistakes, for everything there is a purpose. Makes you think.Enjoy! We'll never know where our paths will take us!***AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ** TRUST METhis is really beautiful....God is not sleeping.Consumed by my loss, I didn't notice the hardness of the pew where I sat. I was at the funeral of mydearest friend - my Mother. She finally had lost her long battle with cancer. The hurt was so intense;I found it hard to breathe at times. Always supportive, Mother clapped loudest at my school plays, held the boxof tissues while listening to my first heartbreak, comforted me at my father's death, encouraged me in college,and prayed for me my entire life.When Mother's illness was diagnosed, my sister had a new baby and my brother had recently married hischildhood sweetheart...so it fell on me, the 27-year-old middle child without entanglements, to take care of her.I counted it an honor. 'What now, Lord?' I asked sitting in the church.My life stretched out before me as an empty abyss. My brother sat stoically with his face toward the cross whileclutching his wife's hand. My sister sat slumped against her husband's shoulder, his arms around her as shecradled their child. All so deeply grieving, no one noticed I sat alone.My place had been with our Mother, preparing her meals, helping her walk, taking her to the doctor, seeing to her medication, reading the Bible together. Now she was with the Lord...My work was finished, and I was alone.I heard a door open and slam shut at the back of the church. Quick footsteps hurried along the carpeted floor.An exasperated young man looked around briefly and then sat next to me. He folded his hands and placed themon his lap. His eyes were brimming with tears. He began to sniffle. 'I'm late,' he explained, though no explanationwas necessary. After several eulogies, he leaned over and commented, 'Why do they keep calling Mary by the nameof Margaret?'' 'Because that was her name...Margaret. Never Mary, no one called her Mary,'' I whispered.I wondered why this person couldn't have sat on the other side of the church. He interrupted my grieving withhis tears and fidgeting. Who was this stranger anyway?'No, that isn't correct,' he insisted, as several people glanced over at us whispering, 'Her name is Mary, Mary Peters.' 'That isn't who this is?' 'Isn't this the Lutheran Church?' 'No, the Lutheran Church is acrossthe street.' 'Oh!' 'I believe you're at the wrong funeral, Sir.' The solemnest of the occasion mixed with therealization of the man's mistake bubbled up inside me and came out as laughter. I cupped my hands over myface, hoping it would be interpreted as sobs. The creaking pew gave me away. Sharp looks from other mournersonly made the situation seem more hilarious. I peeked at the bewildered, misguided man seated beside me. Hewas laughing, too, as he glanced around, deciding it was too late for an uneventful exit. I imagined Motherlaughing.At the final 'Amen,' we darted out a door and into the parking lot. 'I do believe we'll be the talk of the town,'he smiled. He said his name was Rick and since he had missed his aunt's funeral, asked me out for a cup of coffee.That afternoon began a lifelong journey for me with this man who attended the wrong funeral, but was in theright place. A year after our meeting, we were married at a country church where he was the assistant pastor.This time we both arrived at the same church, right on time...In my time of sorrow, God gave me laughter. In place of loneliness, God gave me love. This past June, wecelebrated our twenty-second wedding anniversary. Whenever anyone asks us how we met, Rick tells them,'Her mother and my Aunt Mary introduced us, and it's truly a match made in heaven.'Jesus said, If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.Not ashamed? Pass this on. Only if you mean it. Yes, I do Love God. He is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me functioning each and everyday.. Without Him, I would be nothing. Without him, I am nothing, but with Him I can do all things, through Christ that strengthens me. (Phil. 4:13)If you Love God, and are not ashamed of all the marvelous things he has done for you, send this on to others.REMEMBER, God doesn't make mistakes. He puts us where we are to be.

"Well that's OK bro....You tried your best and hit the limit you could manage....64-hours falls short of the ideal 72, but, still a great start....You will find that the more you do these longer fasts, the better you will get....When I started these…"

"Hello Drekx, I had to break my 3 days fast cycle after about 64 hours, because I felt weak had no energy and begun to sweat, but anyway it was a great experience, over and out LOL"

"Well, it sure is better than the Eurovision Song Contest...LOL
Back in the 1980s, they had more taste, as I'm more keen on scantly-clad female dancers, rather than (yuck) men....and strange woke demonic people..

Legs & Co dance to Bobby…"

This is so wonderful. It lifted me up when I needed, today. I woke up with the blues about something and my weepies lasted all day. After reading this, the tears turned to tears of joy, and the situation that was hurting me, no longer causes me as much pain. Thanks for the therapy. Help comes just when needed.

  Kool story,my mom just died a little over a month ago ,still it doesnt seem real,death is just a bad dream that we wake up from,i mean like who has not ever had a dream in which they died but then you woke up and realized it was only a dream? Obviously we all magnetize the people and circumstances into our life like a magnet that magnetizes a piece of metal to itself, you cant see the unseen energies at work between the magnet and the metal that pulls the metal to the magnet,neither can you see the energies or karma that pulls or magnetizes certain people and circumstances into our life,Its the unseen hand of karma.At least thats the way I see It even if I dont see how it works! This is prvt minion,over and out!

    Well Said pvt M.
    
    Sorry for your loss. You have to understand that although you cannot see the energies at work there is still fundamental properties between the magnet & the metal. You could have the strongest magnet imaginable but if you put it in proximity to a metal without magnetic properties there would be very, very little attraction between them... if any at all!

      Maybe its because they have no karma between them? You can take a picture of the most beautiful girl in the world and be attracted to her ,but never feel any emotions or feelings towards her, just an attraction,look at all the pretty super models in the world or the ones the world presents to you,Ive been attracted to super models but i never had any emotions or feelings toward any of them,so when someone stirs up emotions within you, you can rest assure that karma is involved.Thats the way I see It.So there must be a diffrence between karma and attraction.
