Cette année a été la plus dure de ma vie, et je voulais partager quelque chose que

Um, when I was younger, I used to define myself as an actor.
D’accord? Ce qui n’a jamais été vraiment très épanouissant.
D’accord? Ce qui n’a jamais été vraiment très épanouissant.
Puis je suis devenu mari, et c’était bien mieux. Puis je suis devenu père, et ça,
And then I became a father, and that was the ultimate.
Je pouvais alors me définir comme un mari aimant, capable, fort,
présent et soutien pour ma famille, pourvoyeur,
intendant de la terre sur laquelle on a tant de chance de vivre.
Et pendant longtemps,
you know, who am I? What am I?
And then this year,
I had to look my own mortality in the eye.
I had to come nose to nose with death.

J’étais loin pour un traitement, donc je ne pouvais plus être un mari qui
so I could no longer be a husband that was helpful to my wife.
Je ne pouvais plus être un père qui pouvait porter ses enfants et les mettre au lit
and put them to bed and be there for them.
Je ne pouvais pas être un soutien de famille parce que je ne travaillais pas.
Je ne pouvais même pas être un intendant de la terre parce qu’à certains moments
j’étais trop faible pour tailler tous les arbres pendant la période où tu es
Et donc je me suis retrouvé confronté à la question: si je suis juste un…
if I am just a... a too skinny, weak guy alone
in an apartment with cancer,
qui suis- je? Et j’ai médité et la réponse
And I meditated and the answer came through:

Simplement parce que j’existe. Et si je suis digne de l’amour de Dieu,
And if I'm worthy of God's love, shouldn't I also be worthy of my own?
Et il en va de même pour toi.

It has been the hardest year of my life, and I wanted to share something that I learned with y'all. Um, when I was younger, I used to define myself as an actor. Right? Which was never really all that fulfilling.
And then I became a husband, and that was much better. And then I became a father, and that was the ultimate. I could define myself then as a loving, capable, strong, supportive husband, father, provider, steward of the land that we're so lucky to live on.
And for a long time, that felt like a really good definition to the question, you know, who am I? What am I? And then this year, I had to look my own mortality in the eye. I had to come nose to nose with death.
And all of those definitions that I cared so deeply about were stripped from me. I was away for treatment, so I could no longer be a husband that was helpful to my wife. I could no longer be a father who could pick up his kids
and put them to bed and be there for them. I could not be a provider because I wasn't working. I couldn't even be a steward of the land because at times I was too weak to prune all the trees during the window that you're supposed to prune them. And so I was faced with the question,
if I am just a... a too skinny, weak guy alone in an apartment with cancer, what am I? And I meditated and the answer came through: I am worthy of God's love.
Simply because I exist. And if I'm worthy of God's love, shouldn't I also be worthy of my own? And the same is true for you.
