Whose life is it Anyway?

I was overwhelmed in church today by my love for God.

How many times are we overwhelmed with our love for our partner, our children, our family, etc? I guess many times!

But how many times are we overwhelmed by our love for God?

When I look at my life and the many challenges and heartaches I have been through, and I look at my blessings and my achievements in life, I can't help but recognise God's ever present hand in my life.

We ask God to help us when we are faced with difficulties, decisions, opportunities, etc.

But do we recognise that we actually work for God? We are accountable for our actions in life but at the end of the day it is God's love for us that is ever present in our lives.

How else do you explain how the various happenings in our lives?

Do you remember how you were so disappointed when you did not get the job you've applied for but the very next day you were informed that you have received a good promotion at your current employment? Or perhaps, you have just had your heart broken and then God sends someone so much more wonderful to take their place? Or when you wanted to buy a house and your offer wasn't accepted and the next week you find a better house for less than the price you would have paid for the house you didn't get? The list goes on and on.

God only wants the best for us and he sends people along our path that will add value to our lives and people who are to teach us valuable lessons.

Have you looked at the people around you and have you thanked God for sending those people into your life?

We at Fern Funerals want to be people like that.

We endeavour to provide you and your family with support and efficient service that will free you to grieve and sort out your lives, without having the added burden of arranging a funeral at this challenging time in your life.

We know that at the time of your bereavement, you may not be in the best frame of mind to organise such an important event as the funeral of your loved one - however your input will be respected. We will remove the burden of the finer arrangements like removing the body, storage of the body, viewing of the body, registering the death, organising the grave, organising the transport for the funeral, the coffin wreath, the pamphlets, the cross, etc.

In fact, all you need to do is call us at 084 5175033 and everything will be done by our office.

We are here to assist you on a physical level, leaving you to focus on the spiritual level. Because, after all is said and done, we are Spiritual Beings.

We need to focus on God, and make our world revolve around God. Everything else in life is merely an interruption!
