Today, I am profoundly sad. My friend, Lassie’s funeral, was today and I could not be there because of what’s going on now. I just watched the service on Facebook. Yes, I am troubled right now. Yes, Lassie was ready to go Home. I don’t cry for her; I was crying for myself.
I will miss her smiling face, the loving, caring person I knew. No matter how she felt, she never said she might feel under the weather. You’d never really know it. Lassie has been an inspiration to me since the first day that I met her in 2004. My life is complicated daily with my health problems. That is my mistake, allowing it to get to me. Lassie always was like rays of sunshine to me. Her laughter was contagious – her faith, inspiring, and her family a joy.
So I’ve decided to follow the Lord’s lead in John 14:27, Jesus says, “Do not let your hearts be troubled …” I will always remember Lassie with a smile. While waiting to join her, I will delve deeper into my faith and my family.
Will you celebrate Lassie with me, with PROFOUND JOY?
