As I sit here and reflect on life, I am humbled and made to understand that life truly is very short. The Lord God only gave us a small amount of time here to make a difference. We don't know when or how our life will end and taking our life and putting it in God's hands is difficult. Our family mourns today the loss of an 11 year old boy that was the son of the pastor of the church we minister at. He was only 11. His life had just begun. He rode his bike, enjoyed life, played baseball and shared in the ministry of his father on earth and His heavenly father. I never saw him without a smile. I am sure his smile touched many lives. The memory of Mario will be carried on in the work of his father and family and the church, but our hearts will forever be changed by him.
I would encourage you, as you read this blog, to pray for the family and many, many friends that will be hurting for some time to come. I would encourage you, as you read this blog, to think about your own life and what you have been doing to further the kingdom of God. I would encourage you, as you read this blog, to consider doing more for God. I would encourage you, as you read this blog, to reach out to that person you have been avoiding and make it right. I would encourage you, as you read this blog, to make things right in your relationships with others and with God. We don't know when our time will come to an end and if we wait too long and don't do what is right, we will miss out on what God has planned for us.
My heart breaks tonight as I remember and look at pictures of Mario. May God reach out to everyone hurting tonight and give comfort and healing to those Mario left behind. To God be the Glory!
