I took my first funeral service on Saturday. On the Friday I had spent time with the family discussing what they wanted in the eulogy. Hearing them share their precious memories was so good even though there was, of course, great sorrow too. The service went well and there were no awkward moments. What a privilege to be alongside a family and in some way a part of that family, as they mourned and remembered.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
