songbird
last night i had the privilege of meeting a man who is close to heaven. really, he has gone off all of his cancer treatments. when i reached out to shake his hand, he held it and looked me in the eye. a former worship leader, he said in regards to music, "when life is going well, you want to sing all the time...when you are suffering, praise takes on a whole new level." his wife said, "yes, he's always been my songbird." i will be thinking about that as i hum through my days.
one of your gifts to your community is your embrace of what others count uncomfortable. thank you for this most precious offering!
ReplyDeleteit was a gift to me too; a really beautiful moment in the week. the kind that makes you want to take notice and mull it over for a very long time.
