CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
QIC shared a story of a friend “Rick” who lost his young child in a swimming pool drowning accident. At the hospital, while his child was taking his last breaths, the wife was bedside and uncontrollably grieved. When the husband arrived and came into the room, the wife’s testimony was that upon seeing her husband – who was extremely calm – she immediately felt his presence, warmth, and calmness and stated she literally changed in an instant and just knew everything would be okay.  We all know people that have that presence. They are the people you call to get Godly counsel in the midst of tragedy, the person you seek out when trouble comes. Are you that for your wife, children, friends, co-workers? I’m convinced, the only way to have that warm, inviting, calm presence (which we and others all need) in hard times is to have a deep, personal relationship with the one who will make all things right one day, Jesus.  If you have that, you can’t help but see tragedy as God does – temporary. BE that person and you will be a blessing to others and leave behind a legacy that points to Christ.
MOLESKIN:
Trolley arrived on two wheels with his gas foot thru the radiator and hair blown back but he made it.
