Dear friends,
A long time ago, I made a choice which brought great sadness. I share this because I want you to learn from my mistake.
One evening, some friends came by and invited me to go
with them very early the next morning to the grave site of a dear friend. When I
say very early I mean, before the sun
was up.
I don’t know why they even asked me. They know I'm not a “morning
person.” Ideally, the sun should rise two hours before me. Besides, I was
already depressed. The grave site was the last place I wanted to be.
I told my friends, Joanna and Mary, “You’re early-risers. You go ahead. I don't want to go.”
Mary and Joanna looked disappointed, but I
didn’t feel bad about staying home. It had been an extremely stressful week. Someone
we loved dearly had died unexpectedly. I
had not slept well for several nights. I was exhausted.So other women went with Joanna and Mary.
And because of my choice to stay home, I missed something wonderful. Something miraculous!
