Me and my sister in law did the music. "His eye is on the Sparrow" opened the service. This song was in my head the day after I found out that Kathleen had died, within weeks of my grandmother passing. This song generally brings comfort to me in troubling and difficult times.
28 And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! 31 Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:28-34, NASB
I really love the end of that set of verses where Jesus simpy states, why worry about tomorrow, today has enough trouble of its own! That is so true in so many circumstances these verses bring wisdom and comfort.
We also shared the song "Whom Shall I Fear" by Chris Tomlin. My sister in law had that song going in her head after Kathleen's passing. We harmonized when we sang it; hoping our family was comforted by the words that "I know who goes before me, I know who stands behind, the God of Angel armies, is always by my side."
Such awesome comfort these words bring during such a difficult, shocking time.
May we all realize that life is short; our days are numbered - some shorter than whatever normal is. We should not hold back on sharing emotions and positive, encouraging words with those around us. You just never know if you'll get to say them or not. Don't put off to tomorrow, what could/should be accomplished today!
Carpe Diem - Seize the Day!
Love with all your heart! Dance like noone's watching! Live like today's your last!
