I guess because he experienced so Much heartache in his life, Al developed a deep unique love for Jesus. He was both a gifted teacher and a Writer. He passed along his wisdom on Facebook, and since he's been Gone, my friend, Lori, often Posts his adages on her page. I taped two sheets of Al's astute Observations inside my cabinet. When I opened the door this Morning, my eyes rested on number Nine of Al's list. "The Christian life defined: You are either in a storm or one's coming. And the crucial time is between the storms. You know, those times when we think nothing is going on spiritually. Teaching is what's going on. First, the lessons. Then the test." I'm between storms right now, but I'm Thankful for Al's reminder that God is Teaching me. I want to be prepared for what's ahead. |
