This my friend Pat’s bike. Pat was part of our ACC family and a part of our Live from the Inside Out community. I learned today Pat went home to Heaven to heal. Pat’s attitude and faith were inspiring. He drove this bike to 16 states to raise awareness and money for ACC. Although I never met him in person, his big heart was felt over the miles.
I share this with you today because he is on my heart and sometimes hearing someone else’s story helps us gain perspective for our own. I invite you to join me to...
pause. breathe. pray.
May we be inspired by how he never allowed cancer to stop him from loving and living. May we not allow the “cancer” we are battling today in our life to weigh us down but instead may we use as a stepping stone to help us love big and live fully, with God’s as our foundation.
And I’ll leave you with a few words from Pat’s last blog post...
“But as the cancer grows inside, so does my faith in God. He leads with me down this path and has for many years now and for whatever reason He has given me a beautiful road to ride and I don’t and won’t take that for granted. I am so blessed to be able to do the things I do all while battling the disease...Yes, I am very blessed to have such a wonderful life with my faith, family and friends.
What else is there?”
Rest In Peace, Pat. I am thankful our paths crossed.
