The last week has been a rough one here in Milford. Last Thursday, one of our members was in a lawn mowing accident and lost her life when her riding mower flipped over on her. Based on the scene, it's possible she had a stroke or heart attack before it happened. The reality though is that she is gone and her friends and family are shocked and devastated.
We just happened to be exploring the "One Another" command found in Galatians 6:1-2 that calls us to carry each other's burdens. The context of Galatians 6 is about helping those in sin, but there are several other related 'One Another's' that directly call us to help those who are suffering for other reasons.
It was an ideal reminder as we tried to deal with our grief and loss.
And this was a perfect opportunity to be the Body of Christ and live out part of our calling as the family of God.
We are thankful for the promise of Heaven and for Kathy's faith in Christ. We will miss her deeply but know she is enjoying the presence of Jesus, having received her reward.
Beautiful words Lee. The true beauty of the Body of Christ can be seen in moments like these. Thanks for sharing.
