Body Ails Yet Spirit Soars
Great visits often reveal fresh awarenesses.
Sam Nicholson is 90 and is recovering from cancer.
His wife Mary is 78 and is recovering from heart surgery.
Their health issues are enormous and challenging, taxing
their bodies to the very limits of human survivability.
One look into their eyes reveals the will to not only live,
But to thrive and love the life that God has given them.
Their spirits soar like an eagle from earth to the highest heaven.
One leaves their presence with the belief that their faith is
rock solid, and their seat in heaven is eternally secure. May
my faith in God be as deep and firm as the faith of Sam and Mary.
