Today I went to a worship service to remember the life of my friend Shirley, an every-day Christian. Granted, she was a Sunday morning Christian as well, but her faith in Christ sustained her throughout the week in all that she did. When I think of Shirley I always think of integrity. She was never excited about the latest craze. Her actions were based upon what God would have her to do. You always knew where she stood on a matter. When she spoke to give her opinion, we all took note.
Yet, she was not demanding that her way was the only way. She did not belittle the opinions of others but was gracious in hearing out another. Others may have different ways of doing things and that was okay by her, but she was not swayed. She knew what God wanted of her and she stayed on that path.
Shirley has been ill with cancer for several months now. This last Monday night, she left this life of pain for a better life with Christ. I am certain that she is at peace.
I don't have to wonder about this.
