Keep Your Fork
December 11, 2024
One Christ follower nearing death ask her children to promise to place a fork in her hand after her departure for Heaven. They ask why she was making such a strange request.
Her words. “I’m reminding everyone that the best is yet to come. I’ve enjoyed a good life and good things, but after death, I’ll be enjoying the best dessert ever. Nothing on earth will have been as delicious and anticipated, better than apple dumplings, cinnamon ice-cream, fudge volcano brownies.”
They did so. The pastor in the eulogy shared why she wanted that fork to remind them. ‘The best is yet to come. Keep your fork.’
Is your day hard today. Pick up a fork and remember, “The best is yet to come.”
