Jaquelyn

I found out today that I lost a cousin. A cousin I never met. Her name was Jaquelyn Svard and she went to be with Jesus at 7:36pm last night after a long battle with ovarian cancer. She was one year younger than me and left behind two little boys and a husband. I truly wish I had known her. The adoration of her family and friends is so apparent on her facebook page. She left a legacy of love and reflected the glory of Christ. She is healed now. I am so happy for her. But I am sad for me, because I would have liked to have known her. I missed an opportunity to know and love a wonderful person while she was here on earth. I added her to my facebook, but I was too busy to call. I am sad about that. I missed a relationship that was worth having. I truly feel that I missed greatness by my busy schedule. How many people do we know and love and put on our facebook page but never take the time to call, to visit, to truly care? There are several friends that I need to contact this week. We are not promised tomorrow. I challenge all of us to take the time to contact the ones you love this week. Thank you, Jaquelyn, for reminding me of this. I know I will meet you in heaven one day!
