So i happened to be watching Army wives tonight...IM TOTALLY addicted! Sad I know, but then I heard Taps. Well, to those who read my blog and are military wives know what happens when that plays. Your heart strings are tugged at in the worst possible way! Then I remember a few weeks ago in our church a man who if you didnt know him would never know was there since he was just that peaceful! An amazing quality, but my dh and I sat behind this man and he was also prior service and when Mark deployed our church laid hands on him. Mr. Beard was suffering from cancer and he was in horrid pain, that never stopped him from coming to church. He might have started tearing up from the pain, but never stopped him from being there which was an amazing thing! So when they laid hands on Mark. I saw Mr. Beard slowly stand up and walk slowly up to the front of the church and laid hands on my dh, which brought me to tears. Not only because my church wrapped their arms around my husband but because this man knew the sacrifice personally he was about to make. So every single sunday or day he saw me he would ask how is your husband? To me that meant the world. A couple of weeks ago he passed away from the cancer that wrecked havic on his life. I attended his funeral for the family and at the end at the interment of his body, they first played the firefighter song and last they played Taps. I was emotionally low that day and happened to emotionally just let the floodgates go. I felt like a child, but the service was a very sweet service. So I just wanted to say to never let those small relationships that you think maybe nothing but to one person may mean to world. For his widow told me at his wake that he thought the world of my husband and he prayed for him on a daily basis..Ok seriously I am done ranting to telling things for tonight..
