I attended a funeral today for a man who always made me smile. He was just one of those people who made a person feel really special and he was always delightful to be around.
It was awesome to hear that so many others felt the same way about him. He had asked me to sing at his funeral one time when I visited him...and that was such an honor. He and his wife have been through a lot of trials as they had to, at different points in life, live out the "in sickness" and "for worse" parts of marriage vows. They both, especially his wife as a role model for me, have been so inspirational. I think of her endurance many times when I talk to God about my own struggles.
Today, as I was praying for her and the rest of their family and friends who will be grieving his loss intimately, this verse came to my mind.
