Tomorrow I pay my last respects to a dear friend, Lu Fox. She went to be with our Lord at the grand age of 90 years. Lu never looked or acted her age. She was young in spirit and on fire for Christ. I will miss her as will all her sisters-in-Christ. What a mentor she was to us!
I can hear Lu saying now.. "Don't cry for me. I am home. I am home. Hallelujah, I am home." The sorrow I feel at her departure is simply selfish. I wanted more time with her. Death is just a reminder to us to make the most of every minute we have here on earth for we do not know the time nor the place when Jesus will come to take us home. We must live each day, ready to go at any time, always right with the Lord.
No time for pettiness, or grumbling, or disagreements. No time for putting things off for another day. This one go-round is all we have and the "end of roll" comes ever so quickly.
Thank you, God, for bringing Lu into my life. I have been blessed to know one of your most dedicated and humble servants.
