I would be the first to admit,
I'm sooooo not looking forward
to today.

It is a day in which we will be
saying goodbye to an old friend.
I am honored that I've been asked
to officiate at his Celebration of 
Life. That doesn't mean it isn't
hard . . . I can't even imagine how
difficult this must be for his wife 
and family!

Isn't it revealing that in spite of
all life asks us to go through, we
still find it precious and almost
impossible  to bid adieu. And at 
the end, we find ourselves crying
out for just one more day . . .

I'm coming to this understanding,
when we are asked to say good
bye to a family member, to a 
friend, we are indeed reminded 
of the priceless gift we have in 
life. Methinks we would do well 
to remember this and cherish it 
whilst we have it!

I find this as I am nearing the other
side of my own life . . . It is indeed 
a gift most precious. We would all
do well to remember this every 
single moment! I so pray I can hold 
each memory created dear to my 
heart . . .

life that precious gift
i hold you dear to my heart
treasuring ever
