Digging Up Bones
I recall the first time my oldest granddaughter attended a funeral. It was my mom’s funeral, and I was worried as to how a very young child would react. She did fine at the service, as I kept nervously looking over at her sitting between me and her mom. She then asked to go up on the graveyard with us for the burial. I reluctantly agreed, so we trudged up the hill as the young men struggled to get the casket up the hill to the old family cemetery plot. We watched silently as the preacher spoke a few words and they lowered the casket into the ground. As she held my hand, she pulled me over to whisper to me “are they going to bury that beautiful box?!”
It reminded me of a story … It was a little boy’s first time attending a funeral — he was just four years old — and his parents wanted to make sure he understood how to behave, especially once they arrived at the cemetery. Wanting to prepare him, his father knelt down and asked, “What’s the most important rule to remember while we’re here?”
After a few seconds of serious consideration, he replied, “Don’t dig up the bodies?”
Children and their innocence..you gotta love em…
Spiritually speaking, many of us struggle with digging up the past. We have much to be ashamed of (Rom. 3.23) and we let those past events, guilt, shame, old sins, toxic habits, past wounds, keep us from rejoicing in our future.
As Randy Travis once sang, we spend our time “digging up bones”. Don’t do that! We have a new life! So says 2 Cor. 5:17 (If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation) and Rom 6:4 (Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.)
Let your past remain in the past. If you’ve been obedient to the Lord, and remain in that obedience, that past does not matter!~jme
