I am sitting and typing through tears right now…Why? because I just sat and read one of my good friends blogs about his son – Luke (check out his story here). Luke has cancer and he is on his third bout with this disease. He has beaten it twice – but this time it is back and with a vengeance!
It really makes one think about the fragility of life and what a gift it is. I myself have been sitting and reflecting about my three little girls. What a gift from God they have been… The little laughs, the mischievous smiles, and the wonderful times of just holding each other. Today, I have been reminded that I can’t take these times for granted.
What I admire most is the faith and the courage that the Jensen family has. God has been so good to comfort and to provide exactly what they need at exactly the moment they need it! That is the God I serve! A God that gives us grace to handle life just when we think we can’t handle it.
So take a moment to reflect on your life today…
What are you thankful for? Have you taken time to appreciate the little things? If not, then do so now…
Until next time,
Pastor Barry
