Someone I know is going to heaven soon. He is on the cancer bus. He stands as all of the seats are taken; tightening his grip as the driver zooms around corners throwing him from side to side. He sometimes falls into others when he loses his balance. “Sorry,” he says. “So sorry.”
The diesel fumes make him nauseous and his legs are tired from standing up so long. No one offers him a seat. They are too busy looking out of the window, watching the world go by.
He is brave. He gets off at the next stop.
Man, I can’t think of anything to say except wow. And I had to say at least that. What a touching tribute.
Thank you. I am glad you see it as a tribute even though it was not my intent. He is a dear brother in Christ and still works in ministry despite his situation. He is a walking testimony of the way Christ carries us when we can no longer walk.
