I love that passage. We used it at my mother's funeral. And I wore my brightest, happiest dress, one that she loved and picked out for me. I'm sure I shocked some people, but although not having her is really, really rough at times...I know this isn't the end, and that was my way of acknowledging that.

Which has nothing to do with what you were talking about, I know. But you're right.

Well, actually it does. In spite of all the crap that I've been through (and continue to go through), I was only in recent years that I got a real clear picture of what that verse means.

Life sux here because it's s'posed to. This ain't home.

I'm glad you shared this. I wore a happy dress for Grama's funeral too. I knew she would want me to.
