The Masser Story

Just a quick more serious note.... just got back from our 4th session in this marriage class at church, after a really good service this morning too. I couldn't help but keep being close to tears all day, just being touched by things around me and people's life stories. Of course, I'm a cryer by nature anyway (says Claudia). Found out this morning about friends of ours who lost a dear friend, who was disabled, this last week. Tonight another one of my friends is spending the night in the hospital with her 1 year old who is having trouble breathing. And another one of my dear friends is just having an all out bad year, with death in the family abounding and a miscarriage in all that too. I just ache for these folks. Wish I could fix it.

Knowing I can't fix it, I just pray for them and try to do what I can to let them know I love them and care for them. But it reminds me of what's important. Truly, "what's your stuff?" What's your "stuff" of life? Is it barking at traffic? Rushing around to get shopping done in a hurried crazy pace? Is it climbing the corporate ladder? Is it pleasing people? Man, what's important, really? What's in the middle of your oreo? What's at the end of your rainbow? What's there when you're all alone and there is nothing left to comfort you? Or answer your questions? I hope and pray that all of us can find It! (Hint: look up!)
