It's a cloudy, rainy day and I am having a hard time focussing on the work I should be doing. God has really been putting an uncle of Henry's on my heart. He shared such a beautiful testimony with me at a family campout 2 or 3 years back. I had been visiting in Lethbridge and Henry's parents were bringing me to the airport in Calgary. On the way, we stopped where his dad's siblings were camping and that is where I heard Uncle Nick's story or testimony. I was so moved. Then last fall Uncle Nick & Auntie Ann came to visit when they were in Kelowna. We had such a good visit and he ended up sharing his story with both of us. I am so glad to have heard it not once, but twice...how God became so real to him. I was just as moved the second time. Who knew then what this past year would bring because he is now dying from cancer...such a cruel disease.
I am thinking today of a song he said we should listen to because he thought it was so good and one he loved. I do remember looking for it and listening after they left. Today I was trying to remember and find it and I am pretty sure this is the one. What really whacked me is not only the words but that the singer in this song passed away from leukemia a few years ago. The song really moved me today. http://youtu.be/pj--TuTkjuY
And so I find myself praying this day for uncle Nick, auntie Ann & their whole family. God has really put them on my heart. Maybe God has put him on my heart so much because his story reminds me of my own story. Maybe I'll share that another time.
