Easter
is just a memory. That is the day. The message and promise of Easter
is still alive and well in our world. One of the tasks of being a
minister is to officiate at funerals. Each funeral is leaded with
many emotions. It is never easy for loved ones to say good bye to
those that are an important to so many. Funerals are always a
challenge to me. What can be said? And how do you say it?
For
me Easter is my answer to what to do or say at such a time as a
funeral. It is great to be able to proclaim and believe that because
Jesus lives we all will live also. I know the church calendar says
Easter day is over but in a real sense Easter is never over. I am
going to continue to celebrate it all year long.
