. . . "Dying is trusting in the catcher. To care for the dying is to say, "Don't be afraid. Remember that you are the beloved child of God. He will be there when you make your long jump. don't try to grab him; he will grab you. Just stretch out your arms and hands and trust, trust, trust.'"

Remember Jesus' words: "'Father, into your hands I commend my Spirit.'" Do likewise when you face tidal waves of fear. We walk into the future one day at a time. We can choose either to trust our loving Father God or be overtaken by "what ifs" that limit our activities, opportunities, and peace of mind.
By all means, do your part to live responsibly for your own sake and the sake of others. Then fly on the winds of trust. God will be there to catch you, even at the time of death.
Thanks DonnaE.
