Sad news

My husband just called with sad news from his school district. This morning, one of their students (he teaches at the high school) was killed in a car accident. It's always sad news when a young person passes away, but this one, well this young man had an impact on my husband, and I believe that my husband had touched this young man in some way. About a year ago, or perhaps a little more, this young man had come to my husband and had given him a book that he thought my husband would like to read. My husband was touched by this, because here was a young man that my husband was pretty sure didn't have two nickels to rub together, but this young man thought so highly of my husband that he bought him a book. I remember my husband telling me that he was going to give him a McDonald's gift card when he wrote the thank you. My husband mentioned to me that this young man had a way of finding himself in trouble, but my husband knew there was goodness in him. Our prayers go out to this young man's family, friends, and everyone whose life he impacted, even if he didn't always know it.
