A KID’S VIEW OF A FUNERAL

There’s nothing like a 3-year-old at a funeral to put the basics of our faith in proper perspective.

“I’m going to a ‘wake-up’!’’ the excited little boy told his mom’s boss outside the church.

Later, as he saw the casket, he asked his mom, “Why is Don in that treasure box?”

Prayer request: Praise the Lord! Our Sept. 11 prayer request has been answered. My friend’s elderly mother’s house back East has sold. Now she won’t have to pay to keep it running vacant for another winter. It feels so good to have closure on this long-running problem. Thank You, Jesus. Much praise, too, for healing Pam, our Sept. 30 prayer subject, who had the blood clot on her brain and suffered a lot of pain. She is feeling much better, thanks to Your tender care. (1 Peter 3:15)
