The memory of the just is blessed
- Proverbs 10:7a
Dear Friends,
Several of my mentors have gone on to Heaven. One in particular, I only knew for a few years, yet the impact she had in my life was tremendous. There were several times when I was facing a difficult situation the Lord brought her to mind. I would be uplifted as I reflected on her many displays of kindness and encouragement.
I have numerous cards, books and tapes that she gave me over the years. Each card always contained a hand written message. The messages always arrived at just the right time.
I felt a unique kinship with Sis. Jean Mills. Because of her gift of discernment I felt a special bond with her. Looking into her eyes I knew that she understood my journey and understood me. Through spiritual eyes she was able to look beyond my faults and challenge me to stir up the gifts within.
Tonight the Holy Spirit brought my lovely mentor to mind. Through tear stained eyes, I can say, what a blessed memory. I went to one of my special boxes and pulled out a card she sent me and the burdens of the day became lighter.
We are writing/living a legacy each day. Let us strive to be a blessing in the lives of others. It really matters. Sometimes in the midnight hour of a Christian's life, they need to know that it is safe to show weakness. It is safe to cry and share their feelings of emotional pain.
As the Body of Christ we are representatives of sanctuary when we walk worthy of the vocation we have been called to.
We are called to be a blessing. Called to be lights shining in darkness. Called to shine the light of Christ not only to the lost but to the saved. Everyone needs a reminder that they are loved and should be celebrated. Fearfully and wonderfully made!
To be remembered...blessed and remembered.
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
