So I got an email from my Mission President's wife today. In reading it I first heard about this little tike and his story. I do have to say that I am sorry that I will not have the opportunity to meet Gavin and all the joy that I am sure that he brought in to this world during the short time that he blessed those around him with his presence. I'm not going to go into details of his story, if that is something that interests you feel free to click on the picture and it should take you to his website. I will let you know that he was born with a genetic disorder called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency that caused his liver to go into failure.
Hearing about what my mission companion must be going through has helped me stop to think how precious this time on earth is. We need to take time each day to stop and smell the roses so to speak. We can never be sure about what is around the corner for us in this life. Let us all take each day as a blessing from God and look to what we can do to bless the lives of those that are around us.
