Struck a chord



His death has really struck a chord with me.  I guess it is because Ashton is about her son’s age, but I also grieve for them.  I again prayed for the Lord to give them grace, peace, and mercy.  I woke up around 4 a.m. and prayed a lot.  The kids that went to her son’s school came to my mind.  I prayed they would come to the funeral service and hear about Christ and their need for a personal relationship with Jesus.  We may never know the reason for his death, but maybe it was for his classmates to hear about Jesus.
A friend of mine wrote a note to the family on facebook last night.  It was a nice tribute, and it made me cry.  One of the things she said was, “You raised a young man who completed his godly purpose on this earth in only 18 years.  It takes so many of us so many more years to do the same.”  What an amazing statement! 

U What are we doing with our years?  U
