Today we had our funeral service for my wife Davalyn. As believers of Christ it is called a Home-going service because we celebrate the fact that she has gone home to be the Lord in heaven. The service was really nice. Our minister, minister Jacques Mountain, and the rest of our church family, did an outstanding job and really was there with me and my family in our time of grief. The message for today's service was to acknowledge God's love and His presence. God is love. He is in the business of healing and forgiveness. We must remember that it wasn't God that allowed my wife to get sick and pass from this earth. The enemy satan is in the business to kill, steal, and destroy. Let us not let satan think for a moment that he has won. Just because she is no longer here on earth, she never died. She is now with the risen King, seated in heavenly places. When we pass from this world, our Spirit leaves our body and it lives on in heaven.
Now that the service is over, our extended family is packing up and getting ready to go back home. We must continue to live our lives and trust in Jesus. I have my mother who is willing to help me and the kids at times, but for the most part, it's going to be just me and them. I am going to surround them by people who are likeminded Christians. We will be attending church more regularly. I want my children to grow up in the church like their mother. I didn't have Christ when I was a child and I struggled to understand the important things about life. Once I started to understand how much Jesus loved me in spite my past, I was convinced that His love was different.
There were so many things I loved about my wife, and the thing I admire about her the most was making sure that our children went to church. Both of them were christen when they were babies and they both go to church. Having the presence of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in our lives is all because of Davalyn. So I just praise Jesus for everything. Thank you for giving me moments to cherish, value, and keep for eternity.
