I have mentioned in past posts about valuable lessons I’ve learned by listening to my kids. Children, even at a young age, can speak words that ground us. Words that are untarnished by the ways of the world. Children speak from the heart.
Today was no exception.
My youngest, Mattea, sat outside on the deck with me and we talked. She cried too when I broke down. I was wondering out loud why so many evil people walk this earth while those who love God, and who diligently serve him, are called home. She took my hands and calmly explained.
“We trim bushes to bring new life. The old served its purpose. Fall is when the leaves of this year have finished their purpose. They fall away to make way for the new leaves, new life.”
She continued with the thought that Matt left us to make way for new growth. That meaning each of us who were touched by him.
~ SIGH ~
What she spoke is truth. I cannot argue with her. Another lesson taught…and learned.
Matt taught us all so much. Each of us has a gift, and maybe Matt helped us to understand just what our gift is.
I have a picture on my wall. It reminds me of Matt. He knew his gift and he embraced his purpose. His purpose was always God first. Everything else just fell into place. If you knew Matt, you knew what his gift was.
Still my heart hurts. What I wouldn’t give to hear Matt say just one more time…
“Andrea…..How ya doin’?”
