Ripples

A young man at my church died this week. He's not someone I knew but, his death is having an effect on me through the lives that touched his. People in my community both in Veritas and outside of it knew him, taught him and grew up with him. Each of them has to deal with the emotions of loss and each of the radiate that loss from within them and all of us in the community are touched by their loss. Like ripples in a pond the loss stretches out. While the pain is so great to those around me right now I know that soon other ripples will spread to these people that I love. The joy of a friend's impending wedding or the growth of our Veritas family

Each ripple good or bad impacts all of us and all we can do is be their to support or celebrate, empathize or encourage and pray that's enough
