A Classroom Called Life

A Classroom Called Life

Posted on 18. May, 2010 by Karen True in random

December 2009 is nearly half and year away. Just when I think it has become ancient history, its deeply etched memories surface. Not the usual Christmas memories. Memories of a close brush with cancer. Two words and surgery changed all that, so here I am nearly six months later, fully recovered and the fear of cancer old news. The dread may be gone, but the fragility of life remains fresh. Staring cancer in the face has a way of making you sit up and pay attention in this classroom of life.

Pray to live like Zac Smith. Knowing that death may be around the next corner. And with a heart for the glory of God. It’s the only lesson that really matters.

Zac Smith to be with Jesus on Sunday. His service is today. Pray for his family. Please.

See my husband’s post for more of Zac’s story.

    I’m so sorry to hear that. I watched Zac’s video when our pastor passed it around to church members.
    Thanks for sharing.

    You’re so welcome. It’s an honor to let Zac continue to speak here in my little corner of the world. I pray that his message spreads far and wide.

    Karen, I tried to click on your hubbys link but got a 404 error on my iPhone. Could be mobile links don’t work.

    Wow what a story of facing cancer with Grace and Faith. His story has impacted me for a long time. I love his honesty of the struggle and his trust in God as the control of his circumstances were pulled out of his grasp. In reality we don’t have that control ever, most of us imagine we do.

    I pray for his wife and kids for love and support. I pray that there will be close friends around them for 1, 2, 5 years down the road. I can’t imagine what they are going through.

    As he said, God is Good! Zac, you have made an impact and I thank you for touching my life.

    Thanks, Brent, for the heads up on my bad link. It’s fixed now. I hope you’ll visit because the other video is just as powerful. His story rocks my world…in the very best of ways.
