Greetings and Salutations-
James compared the span of our lives to that of a vapor. A vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away (James 4:14). Nothing reminds us of this better than that of a life cut short for whatever reason. It is for this reason that I write. This past Wednesday, the father of one of our members died very suddenly while doing something he loved - hiking. He was only 52 years old. Please be in prayer for Julie and the rest of the family as they grieve and deal with the reality of losing someone well loved in their family.
In a conversation I had with Julie, she mentioned how hard this all was. She also mentioned the comfort and encouragement she had in knowing that there wasn't anything relationally left undone in the relationship. She had a great relationship with her father. She had even talked with him earlier that day and let him know how much she loved him.
Sometimes we don't think about these things until they are starring us in the face.
I would encourage you to take some time to think about your relationships and to ask yourself an important question. Is there anything left undone in any of my relationships? Relationships are important. If you determine that there are, would you consider doing your part to make sure they are right? You will be glad that you did!
