John 5:8 ESV "Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk."I won't lie, there have been some pretty tough days! Today we read what Jesus told the man who was healed, to get up and keep moving forward! There are days when I want to stay in bed, to bring the covers over my head and just stay there but I need to get up and walk! You see I miss my dad, my friend, my fishing partner, my mentor. I know that He is with Jesus but I miss him. As I go about my days, I see him, in the little things around our house and I think back to memories! Sure life can be a struggle when we lose those we love but we must keep moving forward. I wonder if we see Jesus around our life like we see those we loved and lost. And the key is that we will never lose Jesus, He is always with us, like the memories of our loved one. So, let's keep moving forward, and one day we will see them again and Jesus face to face, but for now, we get up and walk!  peace, tom
