I thought I would update you on the funerals I attended today. It is an interesting situation to be conducting a funeral whilst your wife is organising her mother's funeral in another state. Nevertheless God's grace is sufficient and I fulfilled the wishes of the dear soul who at 97 had gone to be with Jesus. It was good to receive the sympathy of former soldiers and the family of the deceased.
It was good to be with friends at the second funeral and also to be ministered to by them. It was even better to know that the deceased in that case had come to faith before he died. We had many conversations whilst we worked together but he was never ready to be saved at that time. General Eva Burrows had spent much time with Tony and I was overjoyed to hear her affirm his faith.
So as a day of over 41 Celsius comes to an end on a hectic day I can look back satisfied that it was good to be involved in 2 funerals today. Now tomorrow which should be a holiday means doing lots of work so that we can travel on Wednesday to be reunited with Jennifer and say farewell to our mother, mother-in-law and grandmother on Friday.
