“We say really pretty words about dead people. There is something about death that forces the poet in us to the surface.”
Amy Hay, vice principal at Christian Life Preparatory School in Fort Worth, Texas, shares a powerful story about a young man whose life was tragically ended, but not before his loved ones encouraged him about his gifts and calling in his life.
She challenges us not to wait until a death of a loved one to speak meaningful words about them, but to encourage those around us while we they are still on earth.
