We are blessed to live in a country which allows for religious freedom.  And, when you work as a funeral director helping those who have lost loved ones to death, it’s a privilege to help even when those client families don’t believe as you do.

However, have you ever thought about those that don’t have your faith and wondered what are they looking forward to?  In my Christian faith I’ve learned that death is not the end. . . it is the beginning of a new and glorious life to come.

As I’ve aged I tell all my friends who will listen that I certainly have lived an abundant life. . . .and, it’s a life filled with gratitude about what others, and most of all, Jesus Christ did for me.

As funeral directors we live our lives intermingled with those who are grieving.  If Easter, which signifies the resurrection of Jesus Christ, is the most important day of the Christian calendar, then Christmas, the day of Christ’s birth is the close second.

Today reminds me of all the times that I volunteered to be on call on Christmas Eve. .  . . it was done as a favor to my colleagues because our family celebrated in our home community and did not have to travel like some of my colleagues.

I didn’t mind getting death calls on Christmas Eve.  It always made me feel closer to Christ — because I was in the world helping the people that needed it at that time.  I believed that is what Christ wanted me to be doing at that time– helping my fellow man.

So, to those of you on call and working Easter Sunday.   I know it is a bummer that you cannot spend the whole day with your family.  However, know that what you are doing today on those calls is being the hands of Christ in your community.

Consider yourself lucky that you have the privilege to care for those in need. . . . . what could be more fulfilling.

Christ is Risen. . . . .He is Risen indeed!!!!

Have a Happy Easter!!!
