Susan Lafferty“To live is Christ and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). Paul’s words help us stay the course. In life. And death.
October 2000. The phone rang at our home in Virginia.
A friend living in Karachi was calling.
“Ed is in very serious condition. Please pray.”
We meet for lunch. Fellowship over Mediterranean food. Simply connecting while all around us the global spread of a virus ensues. Intensifies.
Events cancel. Borders tighten. Universities move to virtual classrooms. Our best-laid plans are disrupted. Interrupted. Changed.
We sit in sunshine and cool air. Sisters conversing about life journeys. Children. The hard and unexpected turns in the path this past year. The joy of following Him.
