...there is death. That is what Pastor Dave said when he gave his sermon yesterday at the funeral of little Brooklyn or 'Brookie' as she was affectionately called. Just as you are going along 'living' each day...death becomes part of your day.
Little Brooklyn was full of life - the slide show presented a beautiful, young, warm hearted, energy-filled, fun-loving, little girl. A tomboy, according to her Opa, all dolled-up in a pink Princess dress. She was adorable! Her blond hair and striking blue eyes were 'show stoppers'...perfection...God's handiwork!
What can you say about the life of a five year old? How long is five years and what can you do in that short time? What can you accomplish? Well, for this little sweetheart, she accomplished quite a bit. She won the heart of everyone she met. She was a 'bring together' of people. She was an attraction in herself with a heart for people and animals. She loved all 'living' things, even spiders (if they are called 'baby spiders'). It's all about perspective!
It's difficult to comprehend that she is no longer with us. But the message is clear. She is alive somewhere else! She is with the One she believed in and talked about. Her purpose, whatever He intended for her, was accomplished whether we totally understand it or not and she has returned to Him. The after effects of her life will linger on for eternity in the hearts of those who met and loved her.
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Luke 18:16
