| Keep Your Fork
Posted: 6/21/2005 8:51:44 AM | A woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness. She asked her pastor to come to her home to discuss her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted at her funeral, and what scriptures to be read and which outfit she wanted to be buried in. Then she said,"One more thing. I want to be buried with a fork in my hand." The pastor was surprised. The woman explained, "In all my years of attending church socials and potluck dinners. I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, "keep your fork". It was my favorite time, because I knew that something better was coming, like velvety chocolate cake or deep dish apple pie - something wonderful. So, I want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and wonder. "What's with the fork"? Then I want you to tell them, "Keep your fork, because the best is yet to come". The pastor's eyes welled up with tears of joy as he bid the woman goodbye. He realized that she had a better grasp of heaven than he did and knew that something better was coming.
