Death has been a topic I have thought a lot about in recent months especially since Hu's close experience and his sister's death about seven weeks ago. It is impossible to turn on the TV or pick up the newspaper without news of loss of life. I was impacted by a lady who had been through a tornado this week in a mid-western state and lost her home--a reporter asked her what lesson she took away from this experience. Her reply was, "Be ready to meet Him (Christ)". None of us knows how long we have on this earth but the only thing that matters is whether or not we are ready to meet Christ.
Hu's recovery experience has been one of good days and bad. We are thankful that the good days out number the bad days and for the continued strength the Lord gives to help him exercise each day. We have had a very unusual winter in North Carolina and have had days in the 60's and 70's which have allowed Hu the opportunity to take brief walks outside.
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, He gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12,13
