We should always try to find the face of GOD through.

I ageee with you John that at wakes and funerals your hear the best jokes and it helps to lighten the atmosphere and creates a loving bond for the family. The angel Raphael stated that every prayer is heard and every good deed does not go unnoticed by God. What assurance for us to keep praying and continue doing good to others. Our reward is sure. Likewise, Tobit’s thanksgiving and generosity to God is immediately rewarded. There are so many amazing lessons wrapped up in The Book of Tobit and yes, God does assign angels to assist us.
Thanks John for this down to earth reflection. God bless you.

I hear what you’re saying John.
It is one thing to crack jokes during a funeral of which death was no surprise ( that’s fun) but of a tragic unsuspecting loss – Bring on the whiskey and perhaps a fist fight ( I’m Irish).

Interesting take on end of life funerals, burials and the like. Celebrating the the life of deceased can be somehow renewing as we face our mortality straight on knowing we are just passing through on our journey to eternal life. Love your stuff John…and I’d be willing to bet Jesus loved a good joke. Peace with you.
