Visiting Karen

Yesterday, (before our Memorial Day gala with the Katterson clan) Ben, Victor, and I got to make a quick visit to our friend Karen. Karen is a dear lady from church, and she has been battling cancer for a long time.

The cancer is getting the upper hand, from a medical perspective, but Karen is a beautiful, beautiful picture of triumphant faith in Jesus, in the midst of "slight, momentary afflictions." This is the kind of faith in Christ for which we named our son, and it was a privilege to visit Karen with him--and such a delight to share his smiles and giggles.




I remember making hospital visits and nursing home visits with my mom and dad often growing up. And I hope we share that gift with Victor often as he grows too.
