The cycle of life is always amazing to me. It just keeps rolling on. After blogging about our soon-to-be-born grandson just yesterday (29 days to go) ... I was called to a local nursing home this morning around 9:30. A sister of one of our church members passed away. The family huddled together and it was a time of great grief for everyone.
Four hours later I was at the church leading a different group of people thru funeral services, after their husband/father/grandfather died earlier this week at age 92. The funeral attendees sat around tables at the luncheon in semi-reserved mode, feeling their way thru having laid their family member to rest a few minutes earlier.
Two hours after that we were off to a wedding -- new life -- a new family beginning -- dancing -- great food -- lots of laughter and noise.
An imminent birth - a celebratory wedding - a death - a funeral ---- some things begin; some things end. Cycle of life.
P.S. - Happy 4th Anniversary to our oldest daughter and son-in-law, Whitney and Sam.
And be blessed.
