She Demanded To Be Buried With A Fork

There was a lady who had been diagnosed with a terminal sickness and had been given three months to live. So as she was setting her things in order, she reached her Pastor and had him come to her home to talk about specific parts of her last wishes. 

She let him know which songs she needed to be sung during the funeral service, what scriptures she would like them to read, and what outfit she desired to be buried in. 

The lady additionally wanted to be buried with her favorite Bible. Everything was in order and the Pastor was getting ready to depart when the lady suddenly remembered something important to her. 

"There's another thing," she energetically said to the Pastor. 

"What's that?" came the Pastor's answer. 

"Pastor, this is vital! It's extremely important to me," the lady proceeded. "I need to be buried with a fork in my right hand." 

The Pastor stood stunned, not knowing very what to say.

"That shocks you, doesn't it?" the lady inquired. 

"Well, to be honest, I'm confused by your request," said the Pastor. 

The lady explained. "In all my years of attending Church gatherings and potluck dinners, I always remember that when delicious dishes were served, we would enjoy the meal but after the dishes were cleared from the table, people would unavoidably hang over and say, "Keep your fork." 

So, this is one of my most favorite parts because I realized that something better was coming after a meal. They would serve smooth chocolate cake, thick-style fruity dessert, trifle puddings and deep-dish apple pie. Something exquisite, but with an essence! 

Hence, I simply need every individual to see me there in that coffin with a fork in my hand. I want them to consider, "What's with the fork?"

Then, I need you to tell them: "Keep Your Fork! The Best is Yet To Come!" 

The Pastor’s eyes swelled with tears of bliss as he embraced the lady farewell. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. He additionally realized that the lady had a better understanding of Heaven. She Knew that something "Greater" was coming after her death.

At the burial service, people were walking by the lady's coffin and they saw her pretty dress she was wearing along with her favorite Bible and the fork placed in her right hand. 

People began to think, "What's with the fork? Why does she have it on her right hand?" 

During his message, the Pastor told the people of the discussion he had with the lady shortly before she passed on. He additionally informed them regarding the fork and about what it symbolized to her. Her explanation has now touched thousands!

Pastor himself could not stop thinking about the fork and knew they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either. He was right. "Keep The Fork. The Best Is Yet To Come." 

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. ~Revelations 21:4

Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.' ~Matthew 25:34

Never Blame God For Any Situation

One day, a man decided to travel by ship with his friends. While in the middle of their journey, the boat began to sink. Everyone tried to escape by swimming but it was all in vain.  All drowned except this man who succeeded in clinging to a floating object. With the effect of strong winds, the object took him very far, to a small island where there were no men or animals, just a few insects. 

With the sweat of his brow, he managed to build a small box entirely made of straw. He stayed there for several days eating fruits and began to get used to his new life of suffering  (even if he did not get used to it). He eventually began to lose all hope of seeing his family again any day.

Every night he lit a fire in front of his house to warm himself. One evening, as usual, he lit the fire. He stayed there for a long time until he dozed off. Late in the night, he was awakened by an overwhelming heat: It was his straw hut that caught fire. He cried, accusing and blaming God, shouting, "Oh God, what have I done to you to hurt me so? You separated me from my family to bring me to this deserted island, then you killed all my friends and now you let my hut burn. Why are you so hard on me? It is better to die because I am tired of living in this suffering!"

But at dawn, he saw a small boat coming towards him. When the boat landed, he ran straight for the captain and said to him in astonishment, "Captain, how did you get here?" No boat can get there unless he gets lost. " The captain replied, "In the night we saw a fire and we thought it was a burning boat, and  we did not arrive immediately  because the journey was long. We thought that you used the fire in order for us to find you. 

"The man cried, fell on his knees and asked God for forgiveness, and he got into the boat and went home and reunited with his family.

LESSON: God has many ways of solving our problems. 

You can lose a job and think that God has left you when He wants to give you a better job. 

Your friends can leave you, do not believe that the LORD has rejected you, He wants to keep you away from bad companies. 

Do not curse your God even if you suffer, keep faith and hope, He will act.

NEVER BLAME GOD FOR ANY SITUATION YOU FIND YOURSELF
