One Last Verse: Enduring ALS with Hope and Grace

by Matthew Bassford

While most of us can ignore the inevitable march towards death, Matthew Bassford faced a daily dying in the form of ALS, sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s disease, which he watched kill his own mother. He knew the struggles, disabilities, and pain that he faced, yet as a man of faith, he refused to give up hope. He wrestled with God’s plan, but he held firmly to his future knowing the God who made it secure. He knew that God’s grace was present, and he leaned on his Savior to the end.

Join Matthew Bassford in his final thoughts. Consider the wisdom that comes from dying and witness his personal struggles; yet, also witness the comfort that comes to God’s people even in the face of life’s end. See the evidence of “peace that surpasses understanding.” Learn to endure with hope and grace.
