IN THE WORD:
God will never reveal more truth about Himself to you, until you have obeyed what you know already ~ Oswald Chambers
IN MY LIFE:
My mom and I flew into Chicago yesterday at a very early hour so we could attend my cousin’s funeral and Shiva (traditionally, a 7-day mourning process where Jews ‘receive’ friends and family for visitation). While I hate the reason for gathering, it’s always impactful to reconnect with relatives we haven’t seen in awhile and hear stories we never would have had the opportunity to hear otherwise.
I was inspired by the stories I heard from her brothers about the laughter, humor and kindness she brought to all their lives in different ways. Tim McGraw has a song, “Live Like You’re Dying” and it couldn’t be more true. I know we always say events like this will change us, but I truly hope we all take the opportunity to live a little differently today.
PRAYER FOCUS: Fun
I would typically pray “joy” over you in a situation like this, but after attending my cousin’s funeral and hearing how she always found a way to laugh and have fun, I pray each of you finds a way to have fun and laugh today.
