See you

Yep, it's me again. (who else)

Just went back from the hospital. It was so strange... How do you say "farewell" to a person who is still alive? Well, we didn't!! She's such a great person, we just sat there and although she's very sick, she's still able to talk and make jokes and stuff. We discussed the funeral (I will be playing saxophone then, because I used to teach her saxophone and it was a real passion of her), but the greatest thing I saw there was the love of God.
She and her husband are both christians and it's just so clear that God is carrying them during this period. She has got so much pain and the last year was a year full of sorrow and still she's holding on to God and praising Him for everything good in her life... God has given her the great ability to see the positive aspects in everything that happens, wether it's nice or not, isn't that amazing?! Her husband told me something she said to him about being thankfull that when she will be gone, he still has got his children around him so he won't be all alone.

I just don't know what to say... Many christians should have her as an example. For most people it's always easy to see everything that's going wrong or that is not right in their lives, but with her it's just the other way around. Why would you criticize all the bad stuff in your life when you can thank and praise God for all the good things He is doing?? (I know, it's easy to say, but it's true!)

Well, to end this blog: we didn't say "farewell".
We said: "See you ;-)"
