This is part 2 of 3 parts of a sermon by Guy Doud called Moulder of Dreams. . Guy was teacher of the year and has a way of showing the importance we can each have on the lives of others. I would like to dedicate this video to all the men who influenced my life- some men I never met in person, some are now in heaven, and some may not realize how they impacted my life. Happy Fathers Day.
WHAT IF THERE ISN'T ANYMORE
One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore".No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."
Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, or "I love you."
So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage.....And old cars... And children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.
Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!
