I am finding this to be ever so. I place phone calls and share the news of my mother's death and plans being made in Ohio for the funeral mass, luncheon and then the funeral rite the next day @ the cemetery. For some reason with each person, I talk with I find this bubbling up inside of me to share happy moments and times we would visit with them as a family. Little quirky things come to mind, and I share them, and we then begin to reminisce on happy memories, so the call is not so gloom and doom. I love that about Holy Spirit, He gives me the quickening inside of me of some memory and we then begin to share. Do not be afraid to celebrate the deceased person's life and not just focus on the sadness aspect in the situation. I am rejoicing that my mother is in heaven, and we will be united one day for all eternity. Want to know the scripture verse we will be placing on the holy card being created for our mom?
I was searching for scriptures about joy, and this was the one we selected.
Psalm 30: 11-12
