Remembering

"And by faith, he still speaks, even though he is dead." Hebrews 11:4 This morning, Mike remembered his mentally and physically challenged daughter Megan as his training partner when he was preparing for marathons. He would push her stroller, she would make him sing her favorite song"I'm in the Lord's Army" and she would clap as they rolled off the miles. Megan has been gone for around ten years, yet her sweet, challenging life has been an inspiration to thousands of people who have heard Mike and Diane Cope speak of her. She would have been 20 years old this month. May it be so for all of us after our death--that people will smile, nod and remember our deeds, our conversations, our songs, and our lives.
