The wonderful life the Lord Jesus has blessed us with

A break to honor a loved one

Today we took a little break from the busyness of life in order to honor and attend the home going of a dear sister in Christ. I am so sadden by her departure. Not because we were very close, but because I never had the chance to get very close. I didn't get the "years" with her that many of her loved ones got. Even though we were not very close she touched my life and was always a good example to me. I suppose she will continue to be that good example even though she is not here with us physically. I will miss hearing her pray during the prayer time in our meetings. I will miss her smile and greeting. I will miss her asking me how me and my family are. I'll miss seeing her quietly move about serving others. I will miss her.

The home going service was a beautiful one. She was a true "Proverbs 31" woman and as such, her children arose up, and called her blessed; her husband also, and he praised her (vs. 28). May her witness forever remain in the forefront of the minds of those who knew her.

I know how you feel. I recently lost a friend- well, someone that I would have loved to have more time to grow and develop a closer friendship with. I still miss her. And she is continuing to be an example to me as I'm sure your friend will be for you too. God bless you and comfort you.
