Dave's "Prayer Spot"

The favorite part of our time with Dave was spent up high on the edge of the mountain above their residence, a place that overlooks the lake with a breathtaking view. This place was very special to Dave. This was a place where Dave clearly felt closest to the Lord. This was Dave's "prayer spot".

The opportunity to sit and commune with God and Dave together was, for me, a truly phenominal experience. We laughed and cried and prayed and read from God's word.

It became so clear to me as we sat there talking together that this was a man who was truly at peace with his situation. In fact, it became evident quickly that Dave has a thankful heart to his Lord even in this very difficult trial.

Thank you Dave for setting the bar so high for me and others as to how grateful we need to be even in the face of life's worst storms.
