i love reading the obituaries. really and truly. i love the celebration of life in their stories, their families, their passions. they remind me that God meant for life to have seasons, that there is a time for everything under heaven. they remind me that being young is okay, and that growing up is okay too. they remind me that the Lord meant for me to get older and for me to change in this time frame. i cannot fall behind on His plan. i am in step with His season.
here are a few examples from yesterday's ajc that i think are awesome:
"He served with the U.S. Army in Northern Africa and Sicily during World War II as Sergeant in the Signal Corp."
"He was a Girl Scout leader for his daughters and a Boy Scout leader for his son."
"He was known as a kind, gentle man with a passion for details... He was an active, enthusiastic, and well-respected ambassador for baseball and for the many organizations to which he belonged."
"She was well known for all the good food she prepared and delivered to the sick in her community... Her homemade vegetable soup had the reputation of being more healing than a doctor's visit and her chocolate cakes were to die for. All who knew her were blessed with unconditional love and will miss her sweet smile and wonderful hugs."
"After the death of his wife, he had a prayer garden put in between the two church buildings in memory of her and his son."
"She was married for 73 years to her sweetheart and best friend."
"He and his wife served the Lord in ministry for more than 50 years... He had a heartfelt love for the Lord and was a loving father and grandfather."
