As I walked my "15 minutes of fame" last night as the adult honorary chair at the Wayne County Relay for Life, I realized - again - just how blessed I am. Rev. Cole opened the event with a prayer and the Scripture that reminds us that there is "a great cloud of witnesses." It reminded me of the great cloud of witnesses that have helped get me through the cancer journey so far. My wife and the rest of my family, my church family, my many friends and community neighbors, the many folks who prayed for me from all over the world, and many more.
Tomorrow is Mother's Day. On the one hand, I wish my mama were here. Folks who knew her come up to me and tell me how proud she would be of me. To a "mama's boy" like me, that is an ultimate compliment. On the other hand, my mama was a big baby and a worrier. I am glad that she is in Heaven with Jesus instead of down here worrying about me.
I will see her soon enough. Until then, I've still got a lot of living to do. God still has a purpose for my life. Pray with me that I will listen to Him and do it.
Have ever prayed and then actually sat there and taken time to listen to Him? Try it. I dare you.
