Rex

Last night, a friend of mine passed away. He collapsed while working out. Today, there is a hole in my life.

You know him. He is that guy that holds the door for you at church every Sunday. He always has time to chat and give you a warm hug. You never hear him say an unkind word. He is there to lend a hand if you need anything. He laughs easily and often.

He's the one on the right end. He is always ready to have a good time.

I feel a little guilty because I often took his friendship for granted. And I know that he would tell me not to worry about it.

Both of his kids were in my youth group and his daughter now works with the youth. He is proud of them.

He loves his wife dearly. The two of them are a wonderful example of two becoming one flesh. I can't imagine one without the other.

I don't understand this and I'm a little mad at God. It's not fair.

I'm going to miss Rex.

Thought for the day -

Treasure your friends. They are a gift from God.
