As we gather today for All Saints Sunday and honor the beloved - TopicsExpress



          

As we gather today for All Saints Sunday and honor the beloved members of our church family who have passed from this world into the arms of Gods eternal love, may this poem by Jan Richardson bring comfort to all who grieve: It Is Hard Being Wedded to the Dead It is hard being wedded to the dead; they make different claims, offer comforts that do not feel comfortable at the first. They do not let you remain numb. Neither do they allow you to languish forever in your grief. They will safeguard your sorrow but will not permit that it should become your new country, your home. They knew you first in joy, in delight, and though they will be patient when you travel by other roads, it is here that they will wait for you, here they can best be found where the river runs deep with gladness, the water over each stone singing your unforgotten name.
