Juxtaposition

When I was in elementary school, I learned the meaning of the word, juxtaposition.

The definition of the word is "the placement of two things close to another". And early education being what it is, it's not often that you see concepts played out in real life 30+ years later...but I can confidently state that our lives over the past month have been in juxtaposition.

One minute you're up, the next one you're down. That's life.

Two weeks ago, Josh's grandmother, Grammy, moved to the south to be close to us and her great-grandbabies (Elliot & Olivia). One week later she was in the hospital diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and pneumonia.

This past Friday she died, valiantly struggling for air as she clenched Josh's and my father-in-law, Jeff's, hands.

This is my quilty space and I try not to be too preachy here...but how are your loved ones today?

Is there someone in your life that you haven't spoken to in a long while? Well...there is still time to make amends, make the call.

What about you? Do you [fill in the blank] even though you know it's bad for your health? What's keeping you from making a change for the better? Today is a good day to make a change.

How is your faith? Do you believe in the saving grace of Jesus? If so, has your relationship with Him deepened or are you just treadin' water?

You say you're agnostic or an atheist? Okay, I hear you...you have questions, well so do I. Let's talk about it. I don't have all the answers but I do have hope and I want to share it with you.

So...I'll be back.

We are mourning but only for a little while. 

Psalm 30:5 ESV - Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.

Yours,
