>>>>> A Country Funeral

>>>>>
>>>>> As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a

>>>>> grave-side service for a homeless man, with no family or friends.

>>>>> The funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country,

>>>>> and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there. As I
was
>>>>> not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost; and being a

>>>>> typical man did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an
hour
>>>>> late. I saw the backhoe and the crew, who were eating lunch, but

>>>>> the hearse was nowhere in sight.
>>>>>
>>>>> I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, stepped to the side

>>>>> of the open grave and saw that the vault lid was already in
place.
>>>>> I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long, but this

>>>>> was the proper thing to do. The workers gathered around, still
>>>>> eating their lunch. I poured out my heart and soul. As I
preached,
>>>>> the workers began to say "Amen," "Praise the Lord," and "Glory"!
I
>>>>> preached, and I preached, like I'd never preached before, from
>>>>> Genesis all the way to Revelations. I closed the lengthy service

>>>>> with a prayer and walked to my car. As I was opening the door and

>>>>> taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers saying to
>>>>> another, "I ain't never seen anything like that before, and I've

>>>>> been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."
