ONLY ONCE
The sudden death of a friend makes us realize that our life on earth is short. We do well to think of the words of Phillips Brooks, “I expect to pass through this world but once; any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
