.Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.- Reinhold Niebuhr #quote
As I write this blog to be honest I don't know where to begin.
Several month ago through twitter I met a family the Potvin family.
on twitter I know them as @LiftupEllie. Ellie is a beautifull talented brave 8 yr old struct by the beast we call cancer. It was just a few months ago I watched a video of Ellie up in her hospital bed playing with friends even playing hide n seek it was a beautiful site. And now Ellie is at home with her family her lungs now overtaken with tumors and a tumor on her hip that ruptured a few days ago. But You see if any of you have experienced Ellie, you know that Ellie is not your average 8 yr old. Ellie is brave, Ellie loves Jesus, Ellie is NOT affraid of Heaven But Ellie is a fighter. Just yesterday she bravely told her mom as I spend hours following both @LiftupEllie as well as her mom @AmyPotvin her mom tweeted that Ellie kissed her arms n said to her mom "don't worry I'm tough! I sit right now as I did most the night with a candle lit to honor Ellie and let her know just how much she is loved. The last time I signed Ellies guestbook on her journal I told her I was NOT going to say goodbye...I was saying untill we meet again. For this place here earth its only our temporary home...HEAVEN now HEAVEN that is our forever home and we will all meet again.Oh and I did ask her for a couple of small favors..to say hellp to my son Shane and my great nephew Jacob n tell them I love em. I know Ellie she will do that for me because thats the person she is. So still lost I just needed to say that stuff about Ellie. By the way Ellie has a twin sister Grace, her mom is Amy, her dad Tim. Say a prayer for all of them and pray for Ellie as she is getting her wings to Fly away to HOME where Jesus waits for her.
