Yesterday.. Sunday.. I thought of heaven and God alot more than normal. We were blessed to be invited to Dance Thon for the Kids at Penn State. We were included as family for the day of a sweet amazing little boy that fought cancer with all of his precious heart but God allowed him to go home... to glittery, sparkly, breathtaking Heaven! Our hearts feel suffocated in longing to see him.... so we dream of heaven.....
To describe Thon... is that you can't describe. I have been to plenty of stadiums and packed HUGE buildings for concerts and whatnot. But that was nothing like this. nothing. To see the stadium and the pit packed with college kids and all their families and friends in support of and to hold up the cancer patients and their families.. it. is. mind. shattering. And when I say packed, I mean like you can't move. packed.
And the Energy! of what happens when lives come together for a common cause!
United! we couldn't do this on our own, neither could the dancers. The dancers start at 6:00 friday night and do not sit down until 4:00 sunday afternoon. Life takes others... to hold each other, to encourage, to cry with, to laugh with, to face the good and the bad.
Hug a little tighter, Love God more diligently, and definitely Laugh harder! Treasure these memories.
My kitchen looks like a bomb exploded in it, laundry piled up, studying to do and I can't stand it. But does it matter??? seriously?? Why do I focus on all "these" things??
Pray with me that I can become focused on loving people and God!
