I went to another funeral today for one of my students. Nicholas was a precious 6 year old and he died suddenly this past Saturday. I have been dreading this day all week. No one likes going to funerals, especially not those of children or when the circumstances were tragic as they were in this case.
In situations like this, I always expect that families will be angry and bitter with God (and I'm sure they do go through some of that), but it quickly became clear today that this family is drawing their strength from the Lord. I had no idea what to expect at the funeral but I have to tell you, I'm a little jealous of Nick right now - he is in Heaven with Jesus! And while his family is grieving their own loss, they are also celebrating that Nick is at Home. Please pray for the Peeks if you think about them.
