We have a wonderful elderly gentleman in our congregation who is coming to the end of his earthly life. He has been a strong and faithful Christian man for many years, sharing his faith, his love, and his smile with everyone he met.
Last night a small group of us went to his home to pray with him and his wife. Before we started praying, one of the men asked him if he had anything specific he wanted us to pray about. This is where true grace comes in...
He replied,"Other people." Even at the closing of his life, his concern is for others.
I can only hope to attain anything even resembling this measure of grace in difficult circumstances.
