I have so much to do an so little time to do it in.I have 100 Funeral Order of Service to make and 100 Bookmarks with prayer and ribbons to make for Dads Funeral.
The Prayer Mam choose is perfect and truly reflect what Dad would have wanted.
I've added it below, I hope this doesn't upset anyone but knowing "me" if I was reading this I would want to know what the prayer was.
The Bookmarks will be mounted onto Black Card with a small border showing between the prayer and the card and will have a black silk ribbon tied at the top.

A beautiful idea Jak and and a wonderful poem
ReplyDeleteThe prayer is just perfect Jak... but I have to say one thing, you have not spelled pray right - telling you this as a friend and not to be picky but I am sure you want everything just as it should be, and if you print 100 with a spelling mistake you will not be happy.. and a spell checker would miss it because prey is a real word!!
ReplyDeleteGod bless
Thank you it has been spotted at changed, mind you that was after I has already printed them.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and moving prayer Jak, and a lovely idea for the bookmarks. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tribute to who looks and sounds like a wonderful man. Thinking of you at this sad time, but looking at your dads lovely twinkling eyes, he would be wanting you to celebrate his life. take care X
ReplyDeleteIts a truly beautiful verse Jak xxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful prayer, Jak. It didn't upset me, but I have tears in my eyes because it is just perfect. I'm sure that I can tell by the lovely photograph what a wonderful Dad you have had - we are both very lucky in that respect. God bless you all - my thoughts and prayers are with you, and will be especially so on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteLove Joan xx
Jak I hope you don't mind me saying, but shouldn't it say "You can close your eyes and PRAY that I'll come back" Oh God I hope you haven't printed another lot!! But the prayer is perfect otherwise. And the bookmarks are a lovely keepsake.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful prayer and a wonderful tribute to a much loved dad
ReplyDeleteThe prayer sums it up beautifully what I think I would like at my funeral, hopefully that is a long way off. Lovely prayer and I think your Dad would have loved it.
ReplyDeleteI think that is just perfect Jak and the words are very uplifting and a great tribute to your dad, hope everything goes as well as it can for you all on Wednesday, love Denise xxx
ReplyDeleteHello Jak, I'm catching up on my blog-watching & have just read your most recent posts. Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your Dad.

Dear Jak The prayer is wonderful, it is never an easy time. Find peace knowing that you are never without your father he is in your heart and will be with you always.
ReplyDeleteA poem I found helpful is
'Nobody is gone unless you want them to go.
If you don't want them to go, then they will be with you forever.'
I lost my Mum when I was 18 and my Dad in 2001. It leaves a terrible hole in your life to be without a parent but know that as long as you remember them and speak about them that their memory will continue.
Thinking of you and sending you love
Billie
What a beautiful Prayer Jak and a wonderful idea.
