a time of reflection....

The other day I received a call from a co-worker to inform me of an acquaintances loss of their beloved child. These circumstances are always so heartbreaking and tend to leave us not really knowing what to say without fumbling. The struggles in life affect us all, financial status has no bearing, nor do the jobs we hold, the cars we drive, or the house we live in. Tough decisions were made by these brave and heartbroken parents, the loss of their son has gone to save many other lives, so even though he has pasted to be with the Lord, he lives here on earth in other people. John 12:24 "Truly, I tell all of you with certainty, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it produces a lot of grain". The Memorial Service was to not mourn the loss of a young man, but to celebrate his precious life. May God Bless them.
