A Woman and the Fork

A woman that was diagnosed with a terminal illness was getting her things in order. She contacted her Pastor to discuss her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted at the service, what outfit she wanted to be buried in, and that she wanted to be buried with a fork in her right hand.
 

The woman explained, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course are being cleared, someone would always say, 'Keep your fork'. This was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming...like cake or pie or something sweet and wonderful !'

So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my right hand and I want them to wonder 'What's with the fork?' Then I want you Pastor to tell them: 'Keep your fork, “the best is yet to come”.

 

At the funeral people were walking by the woman's casket and they saw the fork in her right hand. The Pastor would hear the question, 'What's with the fork?' and he would smile and tell them about the fork and that this woman has always tried to pass along this message to those she loves and those who need a little encouragement.

 

So the next time you reach down for your fork let it remind you, that the best is yet to come. So tell this to everyone and they too will remember, every time they pick up a fork, “The Best is yet to Come”!

 

Remember...keep your fork and your faith !

The BEST is yet to come!

God Bless You
