Xander Archuleta

Wednesday evening I drove to Price with my mom and sister Kassie to attend the viewing of my cousin Troy's son, Xander. Xander passed away last week. He had Leukemia. This was the first time I've attended a viewing or funeral for a child. It was sad and beautiful at the same time. The pastor made a comment during the service that I really liked. He said, we need to look at in a way that we tell the Lord, Thank you. Thank you for sparing Xander all the trials that we have to go through in life to return to Him. I thought it was a great way to look at it. We all will struggle in our lives, there is no avoiding it. What a blessing that Xander will enjoy eternal life without much struggle to achieve it...he is that special.
