Funeral for a man of God

This is the first time I can say that I have been to a funeral and it was awesome. As I watched his three grown children talk about him I could see and feel their pain. My heart was broken for them as I know what it is like to lose your father. I could also see the joy through their tears that they knew just as he knew, his last breath here would be his first breath in the presence of his Savior Jesus Christ. My limited exposure to this man did not prohibit me from knowing where he stood. He radiated the grace and love that he only received from the One who saved him. From the amount of people that filed through the funeral home showing their respect to the amount of people who attended the funeral service you can tell that this wonderful man of God affected many lives. Knowing his children and that all of them are men and women of God there is little doubt that this man, their father was good steward of what God entrusted to him. By chance if any of his children read this, I love you, and now I know why you are so easy to love. I am praying for you all. May the God your father loved and you love heap upon you comfort and peace during this time of grieving.
