Farewell Cher

Today with a goal in mind i dressed with a purpose a thought in my heart and went to the funeral. So hard to keep my thoughts focus on one simple plan. Yet I went alone to say gee's this happened way to sudden.

It was at the Greek Orthodox Church. A beautiful fresco mural'ed room, side walls painted with solemn Saintly soldiers for the Lord. Each bearing a cross and having a golden head band.
The paster explained the purpose was not one of eulogies, other than those of blessings, but rather a celebration and prayerfest to Jesus and with the soul of the dearly departed to gain her access to the path to paradise for ever, and ever, and ever more. An fragrant incense filled the room, the path to heaven is lined with bells, deep voices singing sweet Psalms. Psalms 119 to begin with.

She was blessed with a loving spirit, she applied to all her life's work. Father John said we the folks remaining received a lesson in the true meaning of AGAPE love. As this was her special talent on loan from God. He read St Paul's letter to those in Corthan, II chapter 13, and everywhere it mentioned Love is, he replaced Love with Mother.

Mother is patient, Mother is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Mother does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷She always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

⁸Mother never fails.
