I was reading a quote the other day that said, "The measure of a life is not its duration but its donation." Of course, that reminded me of Mark. His life on this earth was short compared to many but during his lifetime, he lived it fully serving the Lord. He was always concerned about people and how he could help them. He definitely was always concerned for his family. It did bother him when he became disabled and couldn't help the way he had in the past. He tried his best to serve God even when he was suffering in pain. From my point of view and in my eyes, he lived a life well pleasing to God. I lived with him for almost 40 years so I guess I could be a good judge. Our 40th anniversary would have been June 14. I'm sure in some ways this week will be a little tough with the memories, but God has given me grace over and over again and I know He'll get me through this week.
