We got a call this morning from my mother in law telling us that Rico’s step grandfather in law passed away last night. You could hear the pain and grief in Ezelda’s voice and by the grace of God she sound like she gained a little bit of peace by the time they got off of the phone.
In this life we are going to mourn the loss of our loved ones just as the world is mourning the lost of Kobe Bryant. Click on the Daily Devotional tab for the full details of today’s message.
Yes. In Life we are going to mourn the loss of loved ones. I have been pretty silent to others about my pain and loss over Deanna. Boy I tell you, It’s like I want to pick up the phone so bad and call Deanna. I had been calling Deanna at least 3 or 4 times a day since I been moved out at 19 and for that to have abruptly stopped, my goodness. It’s like scratching an itch that won’t necessarily go away. You can’t satisfy it. I feel kind of like Madison sometimes, putting all the cream and ointments on this itch not making it go away, it comes back and I just feel like her it’s something we have to heal from the inside. Deanna I know you are in paradise with Marc and not giving a two cents about me mourning or even writing this post because you are too busy occupied with Gail, Ms. Too, your Daddy, and Grandaddy not to mention all my family members that are there. I know to be absence from the body is to be present with the Lord. And I know you are there. Revelation 7:15 says “Therefore they are before the throne of God. And serve Him day and night in his temple.And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. You see that’s why I can’t mourn long. Yes mourning comes in spells for me. But I know that Deanna, Marc, Hun, My Momma, My Daddy, Lisa, Johnny, Ole Peter cotton tail, Mr. and Mrs. Davis, My Tati Pops, More Friends and Family up there singing and doing a new dance and praise and worship that EYES HAVENT SEEN, EARS HAVENT HEARD,….I’m hoping yall feeling me on this one. I Have a praise on my heart that I have to give it to the Most High God right now!!!! And it’s all because God loves us! God has prepared a place for you and me. A place where the streets are paved with gold, the gates are made with pearl, and the walls are made of precious jewels. I remind myself everything and that’s when the morning stops. The Praises 👏🏿 🙌🏿 🙏🏿 start to come out of my mouth. HALLEUJAH!!!!!!! GOD!!!! Oh I know I talk about it in other posts but the God is coming back in the clouds and I don’t k ow about you, But I look forward to the second coming and I will be changed or made perfect in the blink of an eye and ascend to Heaven with Jesus in clouds. Oh Glory Halleujah!!!!! Yesssssssss!!!!!!! Get Ready!!! Get Ready!!!!! We going to the biggest family reunion and Party better 1999. We gonna be living in forever with our loved one’s Forever and Ever and Ever. Oh Glory be to God! Glory! God gets all the Glory! Oh Halleujah! I can’t stop Praising his name! Amen!
Amen amen and amen.
Correction: She cares more than two cents about your pain. But when she heard Jesus calling and saw Marc standing on the other side of that big pearly white gate she went home. She realized that she had done all she had to do and she watched you grow into the beautiful woman you are. She watched you struggle, she watched you grow, she watched you hustle, she watched you prosper, she watched you bring 3 children into this world, she watched you become a homeowner, she watched you work hard to get yourself back in school to work towards being a diabetes educator and because she saw all that she could Rest In Peace knowing that even though the road ahead may get lonely or it may get tough, you are never alone, you’ve got support and you are going to make it.
Love you horse nose!
