Memories and Tears

Today it was memories and Tears as the family and friends were there for my Uncle Bill's funeral service.   They did call it a Celebration of Life Service and I am happy to say that most of my tears were of Joy in remembering my Uncle.   The officiant was a long time friend of his family and was so personal and joyful it made my heart joyful!  There was laughter with the tears and all was good.   Introducing some of my family.  the top left is my Uncle Bill who is at peace now.  Beside him to the right  is Uncle Tom,  Aunt Theresa (Bills wife) Bottom four are Uncle Harry, his wife Aunt Stella, (who is Theresa's sister) My Mom Irene, and my Dad Bob.  I was glad we had this family breakfast back in November to be with them all.  Some of them were missing.  I actually can say I have Uncles.. Tom, Dick and Harry! 

FAITH IS FUN... This is one of the things he said in his offerings of todays thoughts.   I found this intriguing!  I always am one to say that there should be fun in everything we do and you should bring forward that excitement to interest others in the same.   He sparked me.  This can so be a motto that I would follow!  I often find that the people of Trinity Anglican are FUN but yet they are still so FAITHFUL.  They believe and they are good at spreading that joy around and I believe it as well.   I am totally hooked  on each and every activity to come so I can be a part of the energy that God has given them.  Hopefully and I know my purpose.... after all the Father today pointed out that Uncle Bill was an extrevert and I know I am!  I think I can make him proud by helping Trinity grow!

As within all families, personal, spiritual or other it is important not to put things off.  Think about it as tomorrow is another day but too many tomorrows can interupt what we should be acccomplishing today!  Don't leave your ideas and visits with your loved ones or with God until its too late!  I got to have this special moment because I did not put it off...
Smile Bright and God Bless!
