ADDRESS CHANGE

Sunday, May 04, 2008

John Ortberg tells a story about a busy florist.

It was a very busy day and the florist got two orders mixed up. One arrangement went to a new business that was opening, and the other went to a family who had a death. The man with the new business came in ticked off: "The flowers that got delivered to my opening day said, "Rest in peace." The florist said, "You think you're mad; you should have seen the peope who just left. A bouquet was delivered to their family's funeral that said, "Good luck in your new location."

Anne Lamott has written, "For the Christian, death is simply a change in address."
