God is Good. All the Time.

And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. (2 Corinthians 9:8)
The year 2020 has been challenging for all of us. For most, it was March before things started to go south. Mine was already going downhill when the new year started. My father was a Vietnam veteran that developed prostate cancer linked to his time in Vietnam. In July 2019, we learned the cancer had spread throughout his skeleton. He slowly declined over the next few months. On January 7, 2020, I took my father to the emergency room, and he was immediately admitted. He was in the hospital until his death on January 25. It was the most difficult thing to watch — a strong, brilliant man who became a shell of himself.
I was so blessed to be in the position to go to Texas and be with my father up until his death. Being with him during his last moments was the most horrible, beautiful thing I have ever experienced. I thank God every day that I was able to be there with him.
This experience has brought me closer to God. I also do not fear death. When it is time for me to go, it’s because that is God’s will. I also can be reassured that I will see my daddy again.
“When the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God’s love.” (Charles H. Spurgeon)
Live your life to the fullest. Be happy. Enjoy your moments with loved ones.
God is good! ALL THE TIME!
