Funerals are definitely NOT on my list of favorite things. When I am getting ready to go to one, I dread all sorts of things that deal with those emotions. I had such an occasion this morning. A friend's father died this week and "a favorite relative" and I knew we had to go to support the friends and family.
Imagine my surprise when I came away from the Celebration of His Life, and I knew I had been to church. Wow. What a service. One of my favorite radio "teachers" - Dr Steve Brown - was the main pastor to speak. Not only was he inspirational but he also spoke words that touched my heart.
Ed Brandon was a leader for everyone who knew him or was related to him. He not only lived his life in a way to inspire others but as a Husband, Father, Grandfather, etc, he was true to his beliefs and God's word. The music; the words; the whole tenor of the service certainly celebrated a life you can only aspire to follow. As he ends each of his programs, Dr Brown, completed the tribute to Ed by using his usual "program ending" - Now think about that! I definitely will, and smile every time I remember.
