Last night I visited a church service and the pastor reminded me of Landen...so much...his appearance, presence, and heart...Amazing that another person could be so much like another. Watching this pastor last night made me realize that was what I miss more than anything about Landen...I miss watching him live his life fully as worship to God. He never did things half-heartedly. It was all or nothing!
Mom and Dad taught us this because if we did ANY job half way we had to go back and complete the job. How I remember cleanup projects that we thought we did good enough...but it was just half way and we were instructed to clean thoroughly! We had a job of picking up the dog poop in the backyard. Many times I remember trying to hidse the poop witht he small shovel under the gravel and my parents would discover the job half done and instruct us to comple the job because "A job half-done is a job undone".
I loved to be in worship services with my brother...He never cared what people thought of him...He was worshipping his God. Last night we sang this one song over and over again called "Worshipping You" and it seemed like a song he would have liked.
Landen could play pretty much any instrument you put before him...not professionally but well and he definitely didn't think that he could play that well but he could usually... I remember many nights of me at the keyboard and him at the guitar or drums playing and singing our hearts out before our Saviour. Just think we'll get to do that for an eternity!!! ...and we'll see our Savior together face to face!
