Every single morning on my drive into work, I pass by two rather large cemeteries. On one side of the road, the expansive acreage reveals the tombstones and epitaphs of people who are now on the other side of eternity. Next to that cemetery is a large retirement community of those who have already lived the majority of their lives. I always thought it was a strange juxtaposition to have that community overlooking the two cemeteries. As I drive past, it’s pretty typical to see funerals being conducted in various areas of the grounds. I often see other loved ones coming back to the graves of their departed friends and family members, usually leaving a wreath, flowers, or something that they would have loved. I tell you all of this not to be dark, macabre, or insensitive, but to share that God has brought me a new perspective with this daily drive.
