A beautiful lady from church passed away yesterday. Lynne has battled cancer for many years now. The road was so rough for her, Dave and the family. It seemed like it was years of remissions and then relapses. Lynne was always smiling and never complaining or talking about herself. She was always asking how the kids were or what we were up to. I am reminded of her water walking at Flora pool in the summers. I would walk with her for a time and then I would get tired out but she would walk for hours! She was battling cancer but had more endurance than my so called healthy body. It showed me how much I take for granted my health. How hard she worked at keeping her physical body going and how much I neglect mine.
What about our spiritual bodies? Do we neglect them till some evil infiltrates and demands we take better care of ourselves? Am I willing to fight long and hard...maybe years...to maintain a healthy spiritual life or am one to give up easy and just let it deteriorate. I sometimes just pray that Jesus would comeback and end all the struggles here in earth but I also wonder if that is a cowardly prayer. Just wanting the easy way out.
We will miss you Lynne, but we will see ya later...and for eternity. :-)
