Evening: Psalm 51; Matthew 13:24-30
Yesterday,
All Souls’ Day, Penny, my dear sister-in-law died, too young, too
soon. I took Sophie to the kennel and drove home, weeping, profoundly
sad, but not angry. Above all, I am grateful … I realize how deeply
this good and authentic soul has touched my life, almost without my
realizing it, by welcoming me, accepting me. Kindness is a powerful
good. Evil can try to overwhelm you – for cancer is like an evil ‘weed’
in life’s garden. But nothing will ever overwhelm this woman’s legacy
of simple loving-kindness; that is more powerful than death. Penny is
very much alive.
