Death, Mourning and Heart change

Do you go to funerals or do you avoid them? Attending funerals and/or facing the reality of death – your own or that of a loved one, can help you become wise. If you take to heart what can be learned from the experience it can change your values and your priorities. This blog represents some of the ways I have been changing through experiencing Jackie’s death. Here are a few verses from Scripture on the subject:

Ecclesiastes 7 - Wisdom

:1. A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth.

:2. It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart.

:3. Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart.

:4. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
