"Let It Be"

Within the last couple of weeks I have been to two different funerals.  It is always so hard at anytime of the year, but especially during the holidays.  These past couple of funerals that I have spoken at, and attended, I have left them with different thoughts on life.  It seems that through death the Almighty has things needing to be said in my spirit.  Once again isn't it ironic that's how it always is...?  Through death we learn about life.  I have to chuckle, because we are some slow learning humans.  One would think that we learn things through the experience of whatever it is, but that just is not the case.  We learn about happiness through sadness.  We learn joy through mourning.  We learn about success when we fail.  Then so it is we learn life, because of death.

The remembrance service today, was not a traditional one, nor was the man that it was honoring.  The last song played was "Let It Be" by Paul McCartney.  Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.  My how I have struggled to let it be in life.  Most of the time we hate the answer we get in life, so we do not let it be.  I always say, "When someone or something shows who they are, or what they really are believe them." When you choose to believe something other than the truth shown, then we just are believing a lie.  Authentic is hard to come by in this life.  I love those who cross our paths that know their truth and live it.  That they understand their own weakness and aspire to walk in their strengths.  It is a life lesson we should all learn.  Today, because of death I got to see real life...unfiltered, uncensored, unedited...life.  It was precious and heartwarming it was to see.

It made me understand life is short, absorb it.  Let it be.  Let life consume you in all its aspects good and bad, because that is a life worth something.  Whether life is short or long, quantity is not what this race should be about, but quality.  How good is the quality of your life?  Is it full of the 'what ifs' or 'daily rat race?'  Today I want to speak words of wisdom far before my time, "LET IT BE."  Absorb life.  Let go. Let others live.  Forgive others and forgive yourself.  "LET IT BE," and enjoy every second you do.
