This past Friday I went to see an old friend who was given 4 to 6 more weeks to live. I traveled with another friend to see him and spend a little time with him. On the way to see him I was asking myself what do you say to someone who is faced with this situation? Can you even say anything to make it better? Clearly there are no words that you can say that will make things easier. When we finally made it there I saw that he was in good spirit, and upbeat. I was glad to see this and we talked for hours. Even had a few laughs and were able to discuss many different things.
As the time passed and I knew we should be going, we prayed together, and it was time for us to leave. Leaving the complex I knew it might be the last time I would see him. But I am hopeful that as he put it ” the doctors told me 4 to 6 weeks I am passed that time so I keep fooling them”. I only hope and pray that he keeps fooling them!!
I know we all must go at some point and none of know the date and time. I pray that all who read this will live long and prosper. And that God will bless you with many years with your family. The Lord also tells us in his word that if anyone calls upon my name he shall be saved. I know my friend has called on Jesus and I know that we he does leave us he will be in the hands of The Lord.
God Bless you all…
