Loosing a love one is hard. I don’t think I ever realized how hard it was until it happened to someone close to me. Last year was a year, not just because of the pandemic but because of life. The year seemed to be off to a good start, and then it wasn’t. February 2020 I learned of my aunt’s passing. Then March 2020, my cousin came to my job (I just gotten a new job) to share with me my dad had passed away. It all happened suddenly.

The Dash
I attended my first funeral post-Covid (and my dad’s funeral) and I made it through! As I was sitting there listening to the eulogy, I began to think of the dash. You know the dash between the day you were born and the date you will pass away. What are you doing with your dash? I know we don’t necessarily like to think of our death, but that day is inevitable. When the day comes, what will be said about you? Will people speak of your kind works? How you helped others? Will they say you were intentional about sharing the love of God?
