greg, i prayed GOD would give them comfort in this time, for them to find peace in believing he is with our lord. i'll be praying for you greg, that GOD will hide you behind the cross, give you the strength and words that will speak through you to the family and friends, that they will look at there lives, know that there is a loving and gracious GOD, that death here on earth will come, but there is hope of eternal life through our lord and savior jesus christ, and there need to seek him. i know this is gonna be hard for you greg, i felt GOD leading me to speak at my mom and dads funeral, to plead with my friends and family to give there lives to christ, that this may be there last chance. i couldn't hold back the tears, if it wasn't for GOD i couldn't have done it, i knew i had to, it would be a time some hadn't been in a church for years. sounds like you may be a preacher or pastor if you were asked to do genes funeral, i lift you up, the family asked you because they love and respect you knowing you are one with GOD, and a friend they trust and can lean on. i pray that your words will touch someones heart and another child will be brought into his fold. GOD bless you brother for your willingness and obedience to do his will.
