i have a dear friend from work that has been in the hospital for a couple of weeks now. he is not doing well. "big mike" as we called him is also known as "big papa". we used to work together up until last year when we had cutbacks and he was let go. this man with his white hair pulled back into a pony tail, and a beard like santa claus would light up the darkest days. he could bring a smile to your face in the midst of turmoil. there is a facebook group "get well big papa" that is set up for updates on his condition and for friends to send prayers and thoughts. i have never seen a person with so many people that love them. hundreds of people praying for his healing and recovery. to be loved like that is a tribute to what kind of man he is.
i just found out another friend i used to work with passed away today. he too, was let go last year. he had trouble with his knees, but today i picture him running down the streets of gold singing praises to god. you will be missed rodney
we never know how long we have, or how many people our lives touch. every person we come in contact with we have the opportunity to show jesus to them. let them see him in us everyday, leaving no doubt that one day we too will be dancing and singing and praising god.
