Being Strong

Today, I went to sit with the family of a 17 year old boy that had been killed in a recent car accident. I will be officiating his funeral on Saturday.  I have found myself time and time again at funerals, whether I officiated them or attended them, being asked, "how do you seem so strong?"  Psalm 105:4 tells us "Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always."  To most people, it may seem as if I am disconnected or not concerned and that couldn't be farther from the truth.  I simply look to God to not only give me strength, but his strength.  My hope and prayer is that this Saturday, when I do my first funeral of a teenager, that I can remain 'Being Strong.'
