a small group from our church went to visit a dear friend that is in the final stages of her battle with cancer. it was heartbreaking to see how much her physical body has changed these last few weeks. but her life truly has been a testimony of living life with the goal to praise God and love her family and others, no matter what has been thrown her way. over the past fifteen years that i have known her, she has been a reminder of keeping what's most important in life...important. she has never been an outspoken person, just one who lived out what she believed--wholly, consistently, with all that she is. it has spoken volumes to me and many others through the years.
i came home to my family and simply had to love on them. i hope that i model to my boys (and others) just a fraction of what she has modeled to me. all i could think of all afternoon was to enjoy each moment and not forget how incredible each simple moment truly is.
