Rejoice that your
names are written in heaven.
Luke 10:20 niv
There are two types of funerals, celebratory or sad. The choice of style does not belong to the funeral director or the minister. The choice is not even the families. The choice of style of funeral belongs to the deceased. No, I’m not talking about choices made at preplanning meetings with the funeral home, I’m talking about choices made in how you lived your life.
Choose Christ and you’ve chosen a celebratory funeral. You’ve chosen a farewell full of hope and a future. Choose the world and you’ve chosen a sad funeral devoid of hope.
I can’t lay claim to being the originator of this saying but I now use it fairly often, “There ain’t no party like a Holy Ghost party”. Plan your funeral now and plan for a Home Going Party, not a good-bye.
