It was a day of remembering a life well lived. It was a day of stories, tears, laughter, and Dad jokes. Doug Tucker was a one of a kind and will be missed by so many. The phrase "keep on keeping on" keeps running through my head. When you don't know exactly what to do, keep on keeping on.
One of the Sunday School studies we did together focused on Romans 12:15 - "Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep." That verse grabbed my heart and it hasn't let go. The people that share our celebrations and then show up to share our tears... they are our "tribe" as some describe it.
Press in to the Prince of Peace... and press on. He does not abandon us in our trials. He loves to be invited to our celebrations. He is waiting for each of us to invite him into our lives. He is not afraid of the mess. In fact, He has a way of turning messes into missions.
“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened." - Matthew 7:7-8
To anyone who knocks... anyone!
Today, I am grateful for reminders to "keep on keeping on."
