Love is where its at

Today was a funeral and not having anything prepared for the blog i'm thinking about the pastor's words that he must have repeated a million times during the service. He was saying that we are just visitors here...passing through.

Life is short he said, we may think living to 100 is a long time but in the overall scheme of things it's a blip in the universe. He admonished all of us in attendance to try and get along. He asked the husband's to make a special effort to take care of their wives. He asked if there were any people out there in the audience that hadn't spoken to each other in a long time. He told them not to wait another minute to do it now to patch up the hole. He said pick up those phones and call those people before they die.

He said stop arguing, stop accumulating, start paying attention to your loved ones, spend time with them because that stuff you are stocking up you can't take with you. He asked if we thought the coffin was stuffed with things the deceased had stored up. He wanted us to realize it is relationships that should be front and center and that that was what was in the coffin.

He was a bit long winded but his message was clear. Love is where its at.

Ironically a two days ago i was in Frederiksted taking pictures of a church. Its not the one where the service was held but i thought they could only add to the group shots.

See ya next week.
