Best regards, Alex
We heard your speech. It was good. A consoling speech indeed for the departed's loved ones.
The BIG picture concept was good. It motivates people to look beyond. One can say it's a kind of ray of hope or light at the end of the tunnel.
A Beloved one leaving us to travel some where distant disturbs us. Observe the Appetite, sleep and other things. Everything gets disturbed. Without our knowledge itself the Body does all these things reflecting our thoughts on separation with him or her. How wonderful it is!!!.
But if such a short term distancing can cause such havoc, just imagine when our beloved is gone forever. It's shocking.
In such a case, the BIG picture helps us a lot.
A Christian's BIG PICTURE is that We will all meet in that beautiful shore (Heaven). It arouses some kind of relief. Wow!!!!!!. Just imagine such a huge re-union!!!!. All of them meeting at one shot. No painter can paint it.
Especially Orthodox Christian's worship order empahasize on afterlife on each prayer uttered. This reflects how much, the Church gives weight on the BIG PICTURE.
Moreover, we believe that we (Physical beings) and the Spirits (our departed Beloved ones) too participate in Holy Qurbana. How consoling it is !!!!!!. It's like meeting all loved ones on a weekend. It's good.
The story of Buddha, the Parable of the Rich fool, the Story of Job and Wife all added meaning to your Speech and I should say that your speech was a simple one which anybody can understand.
