Cindy Rowland - One Year Later

(This is cross-posted with my own blog)

Today is the first anniversary of Cindy's passing. I have thought back this weekend about the events of June 26-28, 2009. I believe the last time she was conscious was Friday, June 26 in the afternoon. I remember her telling me as I bent down to her, "I think this is it."

In church this morning, the song special was "Follow Me" by Ira Stamphill. The last verse ends with:

"If just a cup of water I place within your hand
Then just a cup of water is all that I demand.
But if by death to living they can Thy glory see,
I'll take my cross and follow close to Thee."

Cindy, unpretentious, humble, loving, desiring God's glory. Those words Ira Stamphill took from Matthew 25 were special to Cindy. They reminded me so much of her.
