Joy goes to a funeral

Al's sermon today was so good, I'm not sure I've digested it enough yet to put into words, but writing sometimes helps with processing things from my brain to my heart.
Al said that it took him a long time to be able to go to funerals. I, too, avoid funerals like the plague.
But there are things in our lives that need funerals. I can think of a few. I can go to those sorts of funerals.
Al said "Joy says, what's next?". That is a great way to sum up joy. Joy is forward thinking. Life may go through bad patches (that may last years!) but to keep joy is to keep hope that things will get better.
