Margo's Lovely Words

I couldn't help it. I had to copy a poem my sister wrote today, as we all reflected on the sudden passing of our cousin, Matthew David Buhler. We have all gone over in our minds what could have been the reasons why he died, but we will probably never know. But there is One who knows, and that is why I chose to use Margo's words to illustrate. Because she did such an amazing job. I love you sis!


O.N.E.


How fragile life is.

How it is taken with one last breath, one last beat of the heart, one last thought in the head.

One.

One Savior who has redeemed us from the unrelenting chains of death.

One resurrection on one glorious morning.

One lamb that is lost and one shepherd who will diligently search to rescue it.

One seems like a small number, but the power it has to change the world is beyond remarkable and incredible.

One death of a loved one can change the lives of many, for the good or the bad.

From one, it grows to affect thousands, millions, and generations upon generations of people.

You are not just one, just like the Savior was not just one.

You are: Only Needed Everywhere.

The power of one, now you can see, has more power than any earthly mind can imagine.

One by one we come to Him and one by one we help others come to reunite with their Heavenly Father.

And some, one by one, fall like flies, not knowing what hit them for they were blinded by all the distractions on the wide and deceitful path they chose, one choice at a time.

Life is fragile, treat each day as a gift, that is why it is called the present.

Don't postpone changes you can make now for later.

Again, life is fragile and it is by one thing that can make this day your last.
