It's a tradition in our church on the Sunday after Christmas to Highlight the babies that were Born during the year and to Remember those who have died. I watched intently for Mark's picture to Be displayed on the screen. It was flashed for just a moment and Then another took its place. I glanced at Becky and saw she was Dabbing at her tears. Pastor Pifer's photo was displayed as Well. He was 99 and a half when he died on Christmas day. From birth to death, the cycle of life was Condensed before our eyes, A reminder that even a century is just a Blink of the eye on God's timetable, A reminder to cherish each day, A reminder to prepare for our last one. |
