Reminders

Today at Devin's Memorial I learned more about Devin I never knew. Things he did as a child, his beliefs and thoughts. He was very ambitious and passionate about everything he did. But most of things they talked about I already knew. He would always put everyone before him and his needs. He would make sure you were fine before he was. Even when he didn't have money he made sure you always had a good time, but when you offered to pay for him he would refuse. He will be missed dearly by many people. Please continue to pray for his family. They were strong enough to share stories of Devin and their thoughts on his life, but miss the person that was the center of their lives. There is a bible verse that reminds me of Devin and something I long to strive for. "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests but also to the interest of others." Phillipians 2:3-4. If only he could have known he could take care of his needs and the needs of others. It doesn't have to be one or the other. There is a healthy balance.
