Candy and Kids

I received a call from a lady recently that I’ve never met.  She said that there was a lady at her church that is terminally ill with Cancer.  After having her children later in life, she was blessed with a set of triplet BOYS that are now 4 years old!

With the days ahead being given to her by the grace of God, one of her last ‘wishes’ was to have some nice family photos taken of her with her sons, so they will know how much she loved them when she’s gone.

Do you have a Kleenex yet?  Because you’re going to need one.

Meet Candy, Abraham, Noah and Daniel…

If you were to see her on the street, you would never know that her health is declining.

If you were to spend a few minutes watching her with her boys, you would find out exactly how much she loves them.

If you were to listen to her speak, you’d quickly learn that she takes absolutely nothing for granted.

This woman is a beautiful.

Courageous.

A fighter.

And loves God.

Which is a pretty remarkable thing to be able to do, given her circumstances.

 

Each of the boys said they like it when their mommy reads them a book.  So they all ran in the house together and picked out their favorite book for her to read to them.

I hope moments like these are etched in their minds forever.

I don’t think I can adequately explain what it meant to me to spend the small amount of time that I did with a woman that was more powerful than she even knows.

After only 45 minutes in her presence, I realized that she is absolutely an angel…

…waiting to get her wings.
