Personal Eulogy Message from the Mind of lamasta
Rest assured, as you read this message today, that I am alive and well. Thank you! Although the title in itself would reflect a provocation of emotional, selfish, or sympathetic gain, this assuredly is not my intention; and additionally, not specifically about me.
I qualify this because it is not my desire to add more drama to this social site. Truthfully, it is my hope that it will never be about me. I would rather continue living my life with more focus on the Creator rather than on the creation.
I have blogged extensively recently about, “Coming home to Stay at 93”, describing events relating to my father, who is now going through some final struggles of his life. Faced with a life zapping downward spiral of chronic renal failure and the end stages of chronic heart failure; optimistically, he could battle this inflicting, ugly plague for several more months.
My prayer for him will be, “Lord, come quickly” in order for him to experience a quick departure from this life, rather than the less desirable end which I could only describe to you with considerable difficulty. My most recent visits seem to have drained any small hope in my subconscious hopeful scenarios.
My thoughts today have been clouded with the prospect of some final words simply because today I have a desire to be methodical rather than reactionary in this situation and additionally because I have played this scenario only a few years previously with the loss of a close family member. My consensus on this occasion is that my son not have died in vain but hopefully some good would come from his final departure, so yes, dear friend and preacher, preach a Bible salvation message with an old fashioned invitation for those that would make that choice to come to Him. And yes, do it at the final ceremony! Thank You!!
I am assured that in his new eternal residence, a bible salvation message is what Jesse would have preferred for his friends and family (yes, his family included) so they may also make that decision to join him some day. I pray for his friends daily (almost daily to exclude some forgotten days, forgive me please) because I know that this small request is what Jesse would expect his Dad to do for him. That being said, if a salvation message was good enough for Jesse that is also the final message I would request of my friend, the preacher at my departure.
With the thought of eternity at stake, I was forced to seek the answers from the only book that could give me the true answers by which I embarked upon with diligence and with exceeding expectation.
Because many churches have gotten this simple message very wrong, many will disagree with my biblical views. That’s ok, because we will have eternity to discuss our differences, assuming you have captured enough of the biblical salvation teachings to secure your place in eternity.
For those who have assurance that you are on praying ground, your prayer support for my struggling father, Frank, is greatly appreciated. Peace
