I have a special friend.
Today I saw her after a brief break. Her heart is broken as she watches a good girl friend of hers die. This is a mother of four young children; a women of great courage and strength; a wife , a friend, a daughter herself. I have followed her story through this dear friend. I have felt sorrow and prayed many prayers. The young mother is my sister in Christ. I have not met her or ever talked to her. Yet we have a bond in Him that binds us together as sisters and through my dear friend I have lived and felt and cried too. But today I feel so, so heavy with sorrow and sadness for this family. My dear friend holds her sadness and shared with me that the mother ; wife and child of God , has but only a few weeks. Yes God might heal her, he certainly can but more than that .... these words struck me. My friend who shared and is so sad told me that although this mother, this wife is dying - riddled with cancer - her body is wasting and dying before all those who love her.... Yet , yet , my friend said " she is so alive".
"She is so Alive" are the words that sit with me as I ponder this deeply, sad story. The wife , mother, friend , sister and daughter; my sister in Christ is being held in the tender, loving arms of Jesus as he waits to greet her on the other side. Go well sweet Di!! Keep the faith. We are praying for you and he is holding you. I look forward to meeting you one day.
" She is so Alive"
