Mustard seed Faith
The star magnolia was in
full bloom today, almost angelic like, pointing its pure white face heaven
ward.
I had the privilege of
knowing her for a very short time. I wished there could have been more time.
Sickness has robbed us of this.
It’s very rare in one’s
lifetime, I think, that you get an opportunity to meet someone that could
impact your life as she has mine. Those few times. The words exchanged. That
faith, like a mustard seed, yet hers was a whole lot bigger.
As we held hands, tears
exchanged. She knowing that time left on earth would be short. I witnessed a
lady of great faith and trust in her Lord. She lay in pain yet didn’t want to
complain; others were in worse pain.
There was no anger, yet
concern for her loved ones that she would leave behind. She laid there in
complete trust.
We are in a battle with
this right now in our lives. This year that has been thrown at us, it’s not an
easy ride. All the time demands, working 55-60 hours a week, exhaustion, a
nocturnal husband, fighting just to find time as a couple. Drowning as the
waves of life engulf us.
Her timing was precise for
my life. How I need to apply her lessons into my life.
“I have complete trust in
HIM, Lisa. He told me HE would be with me on this journey to the end.”
Hasn’t He told each of us
this? To “trust HIM” and that HE would
be with us, even in those hard times?
There’s a rejoicing going
on in heaven right now. But your legacy will stay with us.
I have been so blessed by
the short time we’ve had. It has been an honor my friend. Till we meet again.
