John 2:1, 2 Thought/Prayer: Funerals, Weddings, Births. Topics: 2 at end.
“And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.” KJV

Went to a funeral today, that of a great saint in the Lord, my sister in the Lord. There was a large gathering, and we saw many friends from earlier years not seen in a long time. It was good to catch up and be refreshed by their life-tales of how God is working in their lives.
Weddings and funerals. It seems that these events call together people from near, far, longtime and newer days. Jesus was invited to weddings we know. There is something comforting about being with those with whom time has been spent, either now or in the past, a certain connection of continuity. Weddings and funerals are happenings that for which people set aside time, indeed make time as we say, to be there. They are rituals of honor and dignity.
Funerals honor a life; weddings are the beginning of a new pattern of life. We all turn out. Of course, the other main event in our lives is the birth of babies. Why don’t we all turn out for the birth and celebrate just as we do at a wedding or the home-going of a dear saintly brother or sister?
It’s obvious – timing doesn’t work well for gathering a crowd to cheer when a new baby comes – although in all of those movies about monarchies, everyone was on watch when the queen went into labor. And mothers don’t need hundreds on the doorstep with attitudes of expectancy.
But I think there is a big crowd of rejoicers at births anyway – probably in Heaven. A woman forgets the pain of her labor because a new life has come into the world. Surely in Heaven there must be a great clamor of rejoicing at a new birth.
Lord, help us to celebrate every new birth within our own hearts with great rejoicing. Lord, we ask that you bring rejoicing to people standing for pro-life causes, when a new baby lives to tell about his or her birth years on down the line. Help us to be faithful in prayer and in rejoicing.
Topics: Pray for more rejoicing, heavenly and Earthly, for new life coming into the world.
