One of our friends, Kendra, passed away last week while fighting cancer. I can't seem to get over how she inspired SO many people. One little person, such a huge effect on all who knew her. I keep thinking that if she influenced little ol' me in such a way that I want to try to face negative things in a positive manner, I can't imagine how many others she has inspired!
When I first found out she had passed away, everything I did, I kept thinking "Well, this is something Kendra won't be doing anymore." Kind of odd thought, but I was glad when I thought that she won't be driving to meeting anymore... because she's in a better place than that! I can't begin to imagine having eternity with God!
I've had so many positive thoughts about Kendra and that's what I want to focus on when things "seem" bad. Just put a smile on your face and be as strong as you can and one day all the pain and struggles will be over! And to have done it with a smile and encouraging attitude will help others to do the same! Not that it will ever be easy, but I think it's better to be remembered that way instead of as a grouch!
Thank you, Kendra!
