There will be more coming soon in "Notes on a Funeral", but I wanted to share this one....
We find God right where and when we're looking for Him. At my grandfather's funeral yesterday, when the pastor started his graveside prayer, I heard the wind rustling the trees off in the distance, and didn't really think anything of it since rain was forecast later in the day.
But....
As the prayer turned to asking for the Holy Spirit's protection and love to surround our family, that same wind had moved silently across the field and the cemetery. When the pastor prayed the specific words for that protection and love to "surround" us, the wind hit us right in the face and blew against us. Not so forcefully as to cause a disruption, but it certainly was more than a gentle breeze. And just as quickly as the prayer ended, the wind departed.
I don't know who else in the crowd noticed that. But it left my hair standing on end.
Just wanted to share....more coming soon.
