Last January…😓
In Chiba, the Ito and Tada families…passed away one after the other…
…and that was…
…At that time, I deeply felt the truth of this passage.
…Solomon wrote:
"It is better to go to a house of mourning than to a house of feasting,
for there is the end of all men, and the living will remember it."
…He is not saying not to go to a house of feasting, but rather that in a house of feasting…people enjoy themselves without thinking deeply, but in a house of mourning, people contemplate the fact that they will inevitably die, what happens after death 🤔
…the most important things for people are death and life.
…Some non-believers who attend Christian funerals say they want their own funeral to be Christian,
or are so moved that they become Christians.
…Christian funerals truly have an atmosphere…like celebrating a triumphant return to heaven.

…The speeches given by the chief mourners, Mr. Tada and Mr. Ito, were filled with gratitude towards the deceased and the love they received!
Those who attended were probably surprised by the cheerful atmosphere of the funeral, which they had never experienced before.
…Above all, the hope of being able to meet the deceased again and the wonderfulness of offering glory to the Lord…For those who are not Christian, it makes you wonder if heaven really exists 🤔
…I, too, renewed my resolve to live a life worthy of those people.
…Shalom 😀
