He made another good suggestion. <BR/><BR/>He said, people always ask him whether so and so has gone to heaven. He says, people should include something in their wills to the effect of: I, so and so, of sound mind... believe such... And include a confession of faith in their wills, so that those remaining behind can read/hear it again.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259491144770243688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164910523346972642.post-86394461538929135142009-02-09T09:14:00.000-07:002009-02-09T09:14:00.000-07:00Brigitte, What a wondeful thing you did, to have ...Brigitte,<BR/><BR/> What a wondeful thing you did, to have a funeral centered on Jesus Christ and what He has done for us (Stefan), rather than putting the focus on your son.<BR/><BR/> A funeral is a wondeful opportunity to witness to what Christ Jesus has done for us in His own death. That because of Him, there is no grave so deep that will be able to hold us.<BR/><BR/> That because of Christ's death and resurrection, Stefan will be raised and brought to new and everlasting life, along with all the Saints in Heaven.<BR/><BR/> I pray that someone will be as thoughtful to others as you have been, when I am laid to rest.<BR/><BR/> God bless you, Brigiite.<BR/><BR/> May He continue to keep you and Martin and Stefan's friends in the tenderness of His loving arms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
