I have often posted about my bad days, so it only seems fair to write about the good days, too. The son of our dear friends Doug and Mary Moss, passed away las...t week. Cameron was a special person. The first time I saw Cam was when he was on his way home from the hospital in Denver where he had been flown immediately after his birth. He was so cute and precious, I felt honored to get to hold him. Cam was born with severe birth defects that we knew would shorten his life, but even as he went through many operations, and much pain, he was such fun to be around. As a little guy he would scoot around the floor with both legs in casts, being adored by his three big sisters. When his little brother was born, he was all boy, letting Tyler know who was boss, even after his little brother became his bigger brother, to watch those boys together was a lesson in brotherly love.
We all knew that he wouldn't have a long life and we were privileged to have him here for 33 years, much past what we had been told Today was his memorial service. I wanted today to be about him and his family. That was my prayer.
Today for the first time in months I had NO tremors (or at least not enough to bother). The meds that haven't been working kicked in and worked. Tonight I am praising God.
Thank you, Lord, for giving us a good day to remember your precious child. I know that Cam had come to You for salvation as a young boy, but as an adult he had become angry with You for the pain and physical limitations he endured. I get that. I get that it is hard to accept the limits our physical bodies place on us. I get that sometimes it is hard to remember that we have the hope that when we go home, there will be no physical pain and deformity to slow us down. I get that then we will clearly see that what we saw as limitations or pain was only given to us to bring glory to God and for our good and was part of Your plan. And I get that for some it is hard to see beyond this life. But I know that once we are with You, we will understand that no matter how angry we were at You for the fleeting pain of this life, that anger and despair was never reflected back on us, but as a loving Father You have always been waiting to welcome Your children with loving arms and forgiveness.
For some remembering this is a comfort and a joy, but for some it is hard and it was for Cam. So I thank You for Your Word and the promise You gave in Romans 8:38-39.
"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Good bye, Cameron Moss, there are a lot of people missing and remembering you tonight.
