This beautiful dove reminds us to send prayers up for all those in need. Especially remember the Garrett family in their loss of Reggie.
Tragic news like that of Reggie Garrett always make us ask hard questions. Why Reggie? Why so young? Why during a game? So many whys and so few becauses. We live precarious lives on this earth and Reggie’s death shouts to us loud and clear that whether we are young or old we do not have a guarantee of anything. Not tomorrow, not tonight and not even the next moment. Living in a world where we are definetly not perfect and are subject to the natural laws God has given us, we must always keep His Spirit with us, praying for forgiveness and understanding.
As we go through these next few weeks keep yourself in prayer, be faithful, treat people with kindness and let others see your faith in the compassion you show for them. Our lives lived in Christ are the best answer we have for tragedy like the death of Reggie Garrett. While we cannot say “because”, we can say our God loves us enough to forgive us and accept us into His eternity.
Keep the family, friends and schoolmates in your prayers,
