Perspective

We all have sadness in our lives. We all have tragedy in our lives, but when something awful and tragic happens to someone close to you it puts it in perspective.


Yesterday I saw a casket that was way too small. They shouldn't make them that small...they shouldn't have to. I saw two loving parents that were distraught and broken to the core. I saw hundreds of people trying to take some of their pain away and share in their sorrow.

Makes you think...makes you see a new perspective on things. Most fights aren't that important. Most grudges aren't worth holding. Most gossip isn't worth sharing. Is it really that important that someone said something not really nice about you? Is it really that important to be mad at someone when you find out the truth about them? Is it really that important to hold a grudge that you don't even remember what started it? Is it really that important to be right? Is it really that important that your child is a picky eater is doesn't talk as well as others his own age? Is it really that important that bedtime has become a battle?

Not really.

Please continue to pray for our friends, Mark and Leanne Denny. They have a struggle ahead of them that I don't know I would be strong enough to face.
