I've been doing a lot of thinking over the past few days. Over the last five years, each year I've lost one person I was very close to...Its a lot to handle. My mom has been struggling with illness for the last two years. Then, we lost my uncle last week. Yesterday afternoon, I got a phone call that my mom was being admitted to the hospital. Its a bit overwhelming...and, it all had me feeling a little bit forsaken. I have so many blessings, but nothing is more precious to me than my family and over the last few years, so many have been taken.
My sweet grandpa...
My precious Granny...
My awesome grandmother in Christ, Dorothy...
My awesome grandfather in Christ, Joe...
And most recently, my Uncle Joe Alston...
So...I was feeling a little down, until this morning when I read this verse:
It was a reminder to me that each of these people left priceless footprints on my life. They helped to make me who I am and knowing I will see them again makes heaven seem so much sweeter.
