How are you feeling right now?
I try to be an upbeat person and project my love and joy towards others. But right now I’m feeling humbled
Over the course of 2 weeks my husband has lost 2 dear friends. One being his boss of 30 years, and other being a friend he has worked with and stayed in contact with for years.
I have been trying to support my husband cope with his grief.
But the truth of the matter death makes us think about our own. The fact that at any moment God can call us home.
If God were to call me home, what would I leave behind, and what would I wish I had done differently?
If makes me reflect on any words are left unsaid. What relationships need healing? And whether I have been living to honor God, or honoring my flesh.
In life, we are not in control of the clock. Life is not promised not even our next breath. These are the things that bring a deep awareness of how fragile and sacred our time really is.
I’m feeling a wave of sadness thinking about who has already been called home, the people you miss, whose absence aches. It reminds me of how suddenly life can change.
This awareness stirs a powerful desire to love more intentionally to both forgive and reconnect, to say things that matter now, not later.
