I have been absent for a while now, but felt it would be good to get back in the flow of the Sunday Setlists hosted at fredmckinnon.com. I hope this post finds you (and those you are walking with on this journey of faith) well. It might just be me (being sappy), but I have felt the need this week to say “thank you” and “I appreciate/love you” to many of my friends this week. This is how it started…
Last Friday we found out the sad news that our sound man and long-time friend John Emerson had passed away after his bout with a failing liver. I’m quite positive his Sunday Setlist recap would be more than we could even comprehend. Knowing that I was joining in with heaven’s worship was a comforting thought for me today, but still we will dearly miss him.
After sitting back, and looking at John’s life, I realized how much he did just by being consistent week in and week out. This in turn led me to think of the rest of my family, friends, & worship team – to see how incredibly faithful they are to the little details that make up this wonderful thing called life. I know I forget to be thankful for these “little things” (that are truly the most important of things). So, in honor of my friend’s life – would you take a moment, during this week, to thank those around you for being there, for being faithful, and for doing the little things?
To all of you who are reading this – thank you – for your friendship, your service, and your faithfulness to doing what God has set before you. What you are doing is important and it truly makes a difference in the lives of those around you.
