I love this story, Sam, and greatly appreciate the reminders to make room for those we care about. Lately I've been 'busy' and committed to many things, but time is a limited commodity. The recollections you've shared have stirred me back to reality. Thank you, my friend.
Thanks, Cyd! I've been more and more convicted about putting too much attention on "doing tasks," as a sister in Christ one put it, instead of prioritizing people. I know the Lord can guide me to what's truly important and help me choose the best way to serve Him in each moment, but it's a real struggle with the flesh -- which always wants to be DOING DOING DOING.
Dear Theresa, Whew!! It took a lot of attempts to log in but here I am!! I even deleted my last note and had to rewrite!! Sending condolences on the loss of your friend, Paul. You planted good seeds when you interacted with him at the farmer's market. Don't be surprised when you meet him on the other side!! I understand regret and it's painful. Take comfort in God is bigger than us and the Spirit does its' job long after. Sending love and prayers. Blessing, Polly
