for they will inherit the earth." ~Matthew 5:5
One of the reasons I love weddings and funerals is because I love to see the Scripture verses people choose for the most important events of their lives and the lives of their loved-ones. I sort of wish funerals took place before people died, so we could see the expression on their faces when they hear what people really think about them.
My sister knew her battle with breast cancer was almost over when she planned her funeral. She wanted The Beatitudes read to everyone present.
The verse I chose (a little late) this time is really my prayer. I want this verse to be true about me at the end of the day... or my life.
I looked up the word "meek." If you are interested, you can read about it here.
"The Greek word translated "meek" in Matthew 5:5 comes from the root word praos, which means "mild," "gentle," and "soft." A meek person is gentle, tenderhearted, patient, and submissive. The Greeks used the word to describe a soothing medicine, a gentle breeze, or a domesticated colt."
