"Man's earthly wisdom will be foolishness in the eyes of eternity, and what seems to be foolishness in man's eyes will prove to be wisdom in the eyes of eternity."
The above quote was Rick Pino's Facebook status today. I dont know whether to attribute this quote to him or not, but he was the poster of the status and I liked it alot!
Today has been a tougher day.
Brandon and I went to the hospital today to visit a beautiful saint, Carol Miller. This morning the doctors confirmed that she has cancer and that it has spread to her whole body.
The reason I can confidently call her a saint in the Lord, is that she has endured so many health problems in her lifetime and her faith has not been shaken. It's amazing that she is alive today, but its even more amazing that through everything, she can smile and that she just bubbles with joy which comes from knowing a living God. She is 65, and yet could put a 20 year old to shame when it came to being full of life and energy!!!
Today was a reality check. She looked weak, tired and in pain. Yes, she cried and yes, she was sad. Yes her body, this earthen vessel, was used up. But even in the face of death, her spirit was ALIVE. Her heart was created to worship and now she is going to a place where she is going to worship God in eternity. She had a peace that overcame all fear and sadness.
She had a peace that would CONFOUND the wise on earth....
Ha!
Awesome!!!!
Its not easy to see someone you love like this. In fact, it's extemely difficult. And my heart is breaking right now...
But our bodies WILL wither away like grass. These bodies are just temporary! And...when we die, we will be with the Lord and in new glorified bodies.
No more sickness, no more sorrow, no more death!!
