It has been a very emotional week for me. some days very draining others rejoicing.
I was saddened by the unexpected death of a Sister friend. She was out to lunch with friends and started not to feel good. she asked them to take her home, instead she said to the hospital. To the Ed she went and after 30 min or more was unresponsive with a massive bleed in her brain. As I mourn her passing I ask myself did she really do what she always wanted to do?
An Thursday's I help pack back packs for Blessing in Back Pack program which provides food for children for the weekend who are eligible for meal program during the week. this past week we packed 175 for 3 schools. Now I grew up during the WWII when we had food stamps and limited ability to get sugar etc but we were never hungry. What has happened in our world that we need now feed the children. I asked how old are the youngest that will receive these food back packs, kindergarten.
I had a husband of a friend of mine get the news he has stage 4 lymphoma and is now on aggressive chemotherapy. She is trying to grasp it all. He continues to want to work, rather then stay home and feel sorry for himself. What a blow. How did this happen, what was not noticed is the question.
Oh yes another friend had a little baby boy, somewhat early but healthy. He is so cute. they both went home this past week.
So it is with rhythm of life. Keep them all in your prayers.
Today in the scripture we hear of the Resurrection where all will be made whole again. Thank you Jesus for making this possible.
In the meantime may we live in relationship with Jesus in the other.
