All
Souls’ Day is a day of remembrance of those who have gone before us; a day to
pray and to remember.
Cemeteries
have always been special places for me. I love walking around and getting lost
as I read the names and dates and little inscriptions on the aged headstones~
imagining what their lives were like, who they loved, how their lives impacted
others, and what their descendants are doing today.


There
is a cemetery here in the St. Louis area that I have found is a good place to
go~ winding paths, old trees with branches that go on forever and ever, even a
marsh full of frogs! And among all the nature are peoples’ lives and stories.
Who
in your life has passed but left an impact on your soul? How has your life’s
journey been changed because of the people you have encountered?
This All Souls’ Day, thank God for
these people, these souls who have gone before us to eternal life. Also, try to
visit a cemetery, even if you don’t know anyone there; who knows who you might
meet and who you may be inspired to pray for, and who may be praying for
you.
