So with all this in mind, how do you live each day? Do you make sure your spouse knows you love them? Do you work through the petty little issues so you can focus on a great life together? Do you diligently try to work through the big stuff of life so you can really show your love to each other? Are you to selfish to let people be right? Do you show the people in your life you are proud of them?
Last week a friend of ours was killed in a car accident. We have gotten to know this couple the last couple of years and they are in a very similar stage of life. Troy and Brad have become friends. Suddenly his day comes to go home with the Lord. How exciting for Brad to sit at the feet of Jesus! The hard part is while he is celebrating with Jesus he leaves behind a family. His parents have lost a son, his wife has lost her husband, his son and unborn child have lost a father, his brother has lost a brother, and we have lost a friend.
A very quick reminder that our days are limited. We have a purpose on this earth and I hope I am investing in the lives that I am supposed to be. I pray that my kids know how proud of them I am, how much I love them. I pray that I have done a sufficient job of showing others in my life who Jesus is in my life. I pray that Troy knows how much he means to me and our family.
I post all of this to simply ask you to think. Also I would ask you would pray for the Kamphuis family. Today they will bury their son/husband/father/friend/brother. While most of us will go back to life as normal, Sara has a new kind of normal to adjust to. Please continue to pray for her. She is due in December and needs strength. Also look at your life and express those things you need to. Once someone is gone you can never say what you wished you had.
Here is a picture of Brad, Sara, and Jacob. Please pray for them.
