A woman who had been diagnosed with cancer had been given 3 months to live.So she told her pastor which songs she wanted sung at the service，what scriptures she would like read，and what she wanted to be wearing.The woman also told her pastor that she wanted to be buried with her favorite bible.
“There’s one more thing.” she said excitedly.
“I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.”
The pastor stood looking at the woman not knowing quite what to say.
The woman explained，“In all my years of attending church socials and functions where food was involved；my favorite part was when whoever was clearing away the dishes of the main course would lean over and say ‘you can keep your fork’. It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming.So I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder ‘What’s with the fork？’ Then I want you to tell them，‘Something better is coming，so keep your fork too.’”
The pastor’s eyes were welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the woman goodbye.He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death.But he also knew that the woman had a better grasp of heaven than he did.She knew that something better was coming.
At the funeral the pastor told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.
So the next time you reach down for your fork，let it remind you so gently that there is something better coming.
Keep your fork.The best is yet to come.
