Rules: A blog in under 23 seconds


What is more important: rules or people?

Recently I was asked if I would conduct a funeral for a dog. It was an unusual request and strictly speaking Anglican Priests, like me, do not conduct funerals for animals. The enquirer explained the situation.

dog funeral

It was a sad story. She and her husband had found an injured puppy abandoned on a beach. The couple took care of the puppy, naming him O Jai. But after a few months O Jai had died. They considered O Jai as their little boy and were very sad at his death.

Could I help? Well yes! I said that I would conduct a simple service for them. I would say prayers of thankfulness for O Jai’s life and for the love that O Jai had given and received. And I  would pray for them in their sadness and grief. I’m glad I said yes, even though it is not strictly allowed! The simple service was very helpful for the couple. They shed tears during the ceremony, expressed their feelings and make a formalised farewell to O Jai. We need ceremonies to mark the significance moments in our lives.

Can you think of times when rules have got in the way of helping another person? Have you ever hid behind a rule rather than doing something for another? We need rules, but if the rules are hurting others then the needs of the person are more important than obedience to a rule.

Relocation and shifting can be a big frustration, right from finding the best to getting the best price. Especially in a essential town like Hyderabad this can be a trial. But what if you have a selection of choosing from some of the most dependable and qualified organizations and that too without the overhead of running from pillar to post?

You have done an amazing work by arranging a ceremony for them and had participated equally in their grief. For sure service of a mankind is a service of God. I hope i can also do something for them but i know i can't. http://qouponcodes.com/ The thing that i have decided after reading your 23 sec blog is i will surely do the same as you have done for them.
