Saying Goodbye
READ:
Matthew 11:7-19There has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Matthew 11:11
If youve ever been asked to say a few words at a memorial service, you know how difficult, yet important, it can be. Cyrus M. Copeland, compiler of two books of tributes to famous people, said: A great eulogy is both art and architecturea bridge between the living and the dead, memory and eternity.
The Bible contains little that corresponds to our modern eulogy. Yet Jesus paid a great tribute to John the Baptist when he faced the looming threat of execution by Herod. From prison, John sent his disciples to confirm the identity of Jesus the Messiah (Matt. 11:2-6). Jesus talked with them, then told the listening crowd, Among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he (v.11).
Jesus tribute captured the essence of the desert-dwelling, straight-preaching John, who was maligned and misunderstood as he prepared the way for the Son of God. Johns greatness was more than personal; it was wrapped up in the kingdom of God. He wrote his own eulogy by his actions.
As we ponder what we might say about others at their passing, its also good to ask, What will people say about me when its time to say goodbye?
The way we live our lives each day
Makes up our eulogy;
So ask yourself, When I pass on,
What will be said of me? Sper
Living for the Lord today leaves a lasting legacy when were gone.

The former 2LT went to Air Assault School there.
They drag equipment through the air with helicopters and such. I think.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION
The light of God surround you The love of God enfold you The power of God protect you The presence of God watch over you Wherever you are, God is, And all is well. Amen.
BLESS THIS HOUSE Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.
