On today's episode, I chat with Tracey Murtha, wife of the late Greg Murtha. We chat about what Greg's cancer journey was like from her perspective and some of the challenges of living without her beloved husband, but mostly we talk about how Greg's cancer diagnosis opened the Murtha's eyes to the needs of the people around them, and how Tracey continues to live with this same love and compassion for reaching others.

Takeaway Truths:
More is caught than taught.
Our greatest area of service often springs from our greatest pain.
Obey the Lord. We don't have to fix the other person, we just have to do the small thing and He will do the rest.
Choose joy in the moment because you won't get that moment back.
Cling to the hope of Jesus because He's got you. He didn't bring you this far to abandon you.
Live in the present and the Holy Spirit will prompt you to serve whoever is in front of you.
Only two things will last into eternity: the word of God and the souls of men. That is where we need to invest our time.
Greg was not fearful of taking his last breath. He was all about making the breath before that one count.
