This morning I ventured out. The purpose was to sit with a friend who has cancer.
Although there is pain, there is also peace. In the past few years “salvation” has become a real and daily part of life. So as we talked, hope arose and life was good, even though pain was present and death is just around a corner we can almost see.
What can be said? We talked of funerals, of family and of life. Some things were difficult, others just daily chatter. And as I left I blessed her, as she had blessed me.
