Another to soon goodbye

[tbgfan 855]

Michael Watkins who was a member of the Virginia High School Bearcats football and baseball teams, graduating in 2016, tragically passed away Sunday morning July 23rd from an auto accident. 

My pastor, preached a message about our life which resonated deeply in my spirit.  He ask the question, "What is your message"?   Will your life be a story, few may tell, or will it be a message that you have lived and will impact others? 

Here we have two young lives gone to early, Brandon Looney and now Michael Watkins.  From what I gather these young men left a message with their short lives.  A message of dedication to their sport, goodness, goals to reach for and most of all a love for their Lord. 

I heard this song today and I thought how appropriate to share with their message.  It is by Masters Voice and is entitled "How Long A Lifetime Is."

This is a portion of the lyrics.

 

"Never take the day for granted, cherish every memory

No one knows for certain what the next tomorrow may bring

So hold your love ones tightly, treat each moment as a gift

Never know how long a lifetime is"

 

REST WELL MICHAEL AND BRANDON
