Heavy Hearts
“Lord,
remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days
are numbered—how fleeting my life is. You have made my life no longer
than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
at best, each of us is but a breath, even those who seem secure … And so, Lord, where do I put my
hope? My only hope is in you.”
-Psalm 39:4-5, 7
We have lost dear friends this morning. It sounds very generic, but I can't describe it any other way than hearts are weeping. We don't know what to say or how to act in front of their families; it's just all awkwardly horrible. It serves a reminder to take the extra seconds to say "I love you" and give pecks on the cheek while heading out the door. It doesn't matter whether you fly a Navy jet, drive a Dodge Dart or ride a Schwinn - life happens in split seconds.
