Yesterday we attended his memorial service. It was a place filled with love. Never before have I experienced, at the very same time, feelings of heartbreak, hope and inspiration.
Below is a poem that was printed and on display at the front of the church. It is attributed to Mother Teresa. It was read beautifully by our discipleship director, Rob Gillgrist who is one of our team traveling to Honduras this summer.
These words seem lovely and inspiring. Something one might pin to their wall, read once or twice, even try once or twice. Then mostly likely we forget about them, walk past the frame on the wall. Perhaps, if one is dedicated, one might even remember a couple of the lines and practice those ones often.
I am blessed to be able to say, I watched all of these words lived out by David. These are not impossible words, but acts to work on every day. These are words of bold compassion, are they not? Perhaps we can try to live by all of them every day.
Who is up for the challenge?
