I attend and serve with a great group of people at Pure, a ministry from Water of Life church. And at Pure, we aspire to be a close family, which means getting to know one another and being there for each other.
I have had the opportunity to get to know a handful of men and women that have absolutely enriched and blessed my life. But today I finally realized that I have been blessed by and influenced by a larger circle of people that I have yet to even meet!
Let me explain.
I have only met Linda Medlock briefly BUT I have been influenced and touched by her all year long. How is that possible? She has passed on a legacy of kindness, loyalty, love, and joy into her son and niece who have carried it to me and the rest of my small group on many occasions. Linda has been there for me through her niece Jennifer and she has been there for many others through her son, Jonathan.
THIS is family.
And now has come a time to return the blessings by honoring and supporting our family members. Linda, mother to Jonathan and aunt to Jennifer (and thereby an extension of OUR Pure family), has been diagnosed with advanced stages of pancreatic cancer. Doctors have painted a very grim outlook.
Linda and her family need our encouragement, hugs and prayers. And to honor the family, we are asking everyone to wear Purple Wednesday, October 27th as a sign of our support for the family and our HOPE for the survival of pancreatic cancer patients.
To Linda, Jennifer, Jonathan and the Medlock family, we bless you and are praying for you.
2 Corinthians 1:3 - Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
