AN FB FRIEND'S SISTER PASSED AWAY.
Please pray for my FB friend and his family. He has suffered some very heavy losses in the past several months, with the passing of his mother six months ago and his sister dying suddenly this weekend.
This is also a somber reminder to all of us that life is a vapor.* Not only are we unsure of our own longevity, we do not know when our loved ones will be taken from us.
He has some positive and precious memories of his recent time together with his sister, and this is truly a blessing.
We all need to make sure that we are doing our part to build bridges and not walls between ourselves and others. We all need to make sure that we live each day so there is no regret in our relationship with God. We will all have heartache, but God help us to be the cause of sunshine in someone else's life. And more importantly, God help us to let your Son shine through us, because we don't know the dark valley someone else is going to travel through. **
* James 4:13-15
(13) Come now, you that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
(14) Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
(15) For that you ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
** Psalms 23:4
(4) Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
John 11:25
(25) Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
