LIFE’S UNCERTAINTY

A young couple desiring to go into missionary work had invited a missionary couple to their home. The host couple kept mentioning that life was so “uncertain” for them because the husband had multiple sclerosis. He could either be eventually immobilized in a hospital bed, or live normally until death, or die unexpectedly.

After hearing the term uncertain so many times, the missionary turned to the couple and said, “All of our lives are uncertain. You just happen to know it, and most of us don’t.”793
