A good friend died today, not spoken to him in years, it came
as a surprise.
Mom called early in the week, said he had aggressive cancer,
diagnosis was grim, maybe three months at best; God would take him on His time.
Today gifts of flowers and chocolates disguised in boxes
of hearts will be presented between us as expressions of love. But a different love was extended to my friend
and brother today, it was Mercy.
A loving God sent an angel who placed a single drop of oil
on my friends head and in that moment his pain stopped and his earthly body fell
asleep; but also in this moment his anointed body was restored and so he sits
at Gods table with his dad and brothers - forever. A
beautiful St. Valentines gift given.
God Speed Woodrow Franklin Wilson,
August 3, 1953 – February 13, 2016
PS, save me a seat at the table.
