Purpose


Yes my husband is really handsome I know! But what I also know is that his life is filled with purpose. This picture was taken at a "unnamed event" where I was able to celebrate his life and his journey. We recently went to a funeral of a friend of his and the story the gentleman's wife shared was much like mine. At times I am saddened by the amount of time he spends outside of our home serving others in need. My selfishness asks why he doesn't spend that time with us. But my heart knows why, his life was pre destined to serve young and old struggling for one more day. That may sound a little dramatic but when you attend a funeral like we did and you are able to see the impact one man has made by just suiting up and showing up you know in heart why. This moment reciting the serenity prayer with a church filled of individuals touched by this one man's life and his wife's testimony of love and support for what her husband stood for gave me immense strength and courage to shed a little bit of that selfishness.
