Last Friday we attended a friends step-dads funeral. Since January I have attended three funeral and in the past year I have been to quite a few. I was talking to my friends cousin before the service started and she reminded me that at our age we will begin attending more and more funerals. The things said about this mans life were awesome. I just hope one day that my friends can stand and say wonderful things about me like were said about him and that my life will have touched so many people. Sometimes we do not know what God is doing at the time but I hope that God uses me to minister to others and that they can see Him shining through me in all I do. Although I did not really know Al that well I felt like that day I got to know a little more about him. One of the speakers read John 14:2 (NIV)
"In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
Now I know so many of us have heard this scripture all of our lives but the speaker said something and I just thought "WOW", that is a great way to put it. He said Al had already made his reservation...and I started thinking what an awesome way to describe this. You know there are plenty of rooms available....and all you have to do is make your reservation by accepting Christ into your life and letting Him be Lord of your life. Have you made your reservation yet? I pray that if you have not that you will today....why would you want to spend eternity anywhere else?
