I attended Bryce Jourdain's memorial service on Saturday. Bryce was the TOPEC (Taranaki Outdoor Pursuit and Education Centre) instructor who died on the 8th August at Paritutu when he jumped into the sea to attempt to save the two students who fell during a rock climbing activity. His body and the body of one of the students have never been found. Bryce had a wife and two primary age children. It was an emotional 2 hours, and any who didn't shed a tear at some stage would have to be pretty hard. Bryce had a faith in God and those who spoke described him as a man who loved his family, God's creation and God.
I was reminded again of how important every moment is with our families. You never know what tomorrow will bring. You don't know what will happen next week. If something were to happen, would you have regrets?
Live your life in such a way that in the end there will be no regrets.
What would that look like for you and your family?
