Because today, I am emotionally worn out. As I sat surrounded by so many people who loved Dana, I was reminded of how big of an impact we have on the lives of others.
We can either make a godly impact or not one at all.
Dana made a godly impact daily with her love and kindness.
One of the greatest blessings happened just a week before Dana passed away.
Her two precious girls gave their life to Christ and were baptized.
That was the peace Dana needed. And it was the peace she received.
As parents our biggest goal and priority in life should be to ensure that our children know Jesus Christ and give their lives to Him. And that we life that out in our own lives before them.
As God's children our goal and priority in life, should be to please and honor Christ. To live a life that points others to Him.
And that is what Dana did.
What will be said of you at your funeral? You will have one, one day.
As my daddy always says, "Leave everything better than you found it."
Let's leave this place behind a little better than we found it, by being a reflection of Christ filled with love, kindness, and joy!
Tell people you love them! Grab the hand of someone hurting and pray with them.
And please, pray for Mark, Shelby and Cameron. Especially in these days to come.
