A LIGHTER

TOUCH

If you were to name one personal quality to which nearly everyone is drawn, it would be humor. Who does not enjoy taking some time out from our more serious endeavors to have a good laugh? It cleanses the soul and heals the body. As Sam Ervin wrote, “Humor is one of God's most marvelous gifts. Humor gives us smiles, laughter, and gaiety. Humor reveals the roses and hides the thorns. Humor makes our heavy burdens light and smoothes the rough spots in our pathways. Humor endows us with the capacity to clarify the obscure, to simplify the complex, to deflate the pompous, to chastise the arrogant, to point a moral, and to adorn a tale.”

Even while dealing with a loss, humor can be a great healer. Sadness and laughter are sometimes oddly related; perhaps because the pitch of pain becomes so strong, we need the release that laughing at our difficulties can bring. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we are comfortable with feelings and respect your need to be quiet or to speak as you feel moved to do. We’re at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton. For answers to your questions, call 540-347-3431. " Wit has truth in it. ”
