last night I was reminded of how fragile and short life can be. The father of one of our deacons at the church lost his dad suddenly last night. This deacon has no regrets -- which is one of the most amazing things in this story.
He spent regular time with his Dad cultivating the relationship and after one of their regular coffee times together, God took him home. This deacon found his dad still in the parking lot of the coffee shop where they parted ways -- he could not get his car started. Wow. When I think about this story I can immediately pull out of couple of "God stories." 1 - they had one last time together on earth 2 - no one else was injured as a result of this man's passing.
I lost my dad at a young age -- I didn't really have the opportunity to cultivate a deep relationship with him -- these men, father and son, did have the opportunity and they took advantage of it --
value your time and relationship with your father -- you never know how much time you have together.
we have no guarantee of tomorrow.
