In an instant

It is amazing to realize what can change in an instant. In a moment, a wife, mother, grandmother, friend, neighbor can endure a stroke, an aneurysm and be on the cusp of meeting Jesus. My heart hurts for the husband, the children, the grandchildren, the friends of such a woman; I am praying for years to be added to her life like they were added to King Hezekiah's.

"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value."
