Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
- Psalm 145:2-4
In loving memory of Adrianne.
Family is important. From the time I was a child this was stressed. Respect for parents. Loyalty to family and love for siblings. I was blessed to know my paternal great great grandmother, great grandmother, and grandmother. My aunts, uncles and cousins were and are people I enjoyed fellowship and friendship with.
Family is important. Two days ago my beautiful cousin passed away. Two weeks ago she reached out to see if I was okay because she didn't hear from me that morning. Every day we communicated. I sent a text yesterday morning. No response. Instead a phone call telling me she had passed.
Family is important.. For every person the Lord has allowed me to call family I am thankful. This includes my immediate and extended family, my brothers and sisters in Christ and those who God has identified as family through community and work relationships through the years.
Families are connectors and when one is no longer here the impact is felt. I miss my cousin. My heart is broken. But I truly celebrate the life that was and will always be connected with mine.
God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
Beautifully written and expressed, Stephanie! I conquer with your sentiments concerning family and friendships. God has blessed us each down through the years. We will miss Adrianne Diane on this side of the Jordan River. However, when we all get together what a day of rejoicing it will be. When we all see Jesus we will sing the victory. ��you always, be encouraged!
ReplyDeleteI will miss Adrianne very much.�� I love you Steph and Frank. Yes, we have many many memories that we all have shared together some of us aren't here anymore but thank God for the good memories on Grand Avenue on Cedar Avenue Community College , Edgewood , Meadowbrook , Akron, OH and many out-of-town trips. And I'm probably forgetting something but it doesn't matter. Sometimes when we, look back we laugh ,sometimes we cry. Sometimes things are clear and sometimes not so clear. Thank you Jesus! Thank You for all the good times ...............
