As I write this week's entry, I have just received notice that one of our Pastor's wives died last night. The news is bittersweet. She was such a great example for the women at the church. I had the privilege of visiting her about a month ago. She looked graceful, peaceful, and joyful. Here she was, even in the face of death, still modeling an example of what it's like to truly be a Christian looking forward to our heavenly home. Interesting, it takes death for many of us to recommit our lives to Christ. After all, we rediscover the brevity of life.
A scripture comes to mind as I think about her and it's found in Philippians 3:17: "...join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern." I am proud to say I have had the privilege of knowing her and seeing her example. Now, I want to join in her example of loving others and following Christ. I love you, Sister Joyce!
