Life comes at you hard sometimes. It hit’s you where and when you least expect it. It’ll knock you down and kick you while you lie there, helpless, on the linoleum in your kitchen. Thank God for grace. A dear friend of mine lost his mother this last weekend. My heart goes out to him and his family. His mother, the short time that I knew her, was a pillar of life, joy and happiness. A faithful servant to the Lord, she went home to Him by way complications with the H1N1 virus on Sunday night. Vanessa, you are missed and mourned by those left here to await their own homecoming. My heart goes out to your family but to you, I express my joy. You have been taken into the hands of the Almighty, the great I Am, the God of my fathers. My heart leaps in excitement for the wonders you have seen in the presence of my heavenly father. Thank you for the lives you have touched and the legacy left in your husband and children. Thanks be to God.
